| This
is a clear, colorless (like water) fluid, produced by the choroid
plexuses, and it fills the ventricles and the subarachnoid space,
and bathes the spinal cord. The total volume of CSF is about
150 cc, and 450 cc are produced per day. It is absorbed into
the venous sinusus in the brain. CSF acts to protect and cushion
the central nervous system, and it contains sodium, potassium, calcium,
carbon dioxide, glucose, albumin and other products. |
