<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Cerebrospinal fluid''' ('''CSF''') is a clear, colorless body fluid found in the brain and spinal cord. It is produced in the [[choroid plexus]] of the brain. It acts as a cushion or buffer, providing basic mechanical and immunological protection to the brain inside the skull.<br />
<br />
== Production and composition ==<br />
Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by the [[choroid plexus]], a network of blood vessels present in the walls of the ventricles of the brain. The fluid is primarily water, but it also contains a variety of substances, including glucose, proteins, and ions. The composition of CSF is maintained by the [[blood-brain barrier]], which controls the substances that can pass from the blood into the CSF.<br />
<br />
== Functions ==<br />
The primary function of the cerebrospinal fluid is to protect the brain and spinal cord from injury by providing a fluid cushion. It also helps to maintain the [[homeostasis]] of the brain environment, which is crucial for the proper functioning of the [[neuronal cells]]. In addition, CSF serves as a medium for the removal of waste products from the brain.<br />
<br />
== Clinical significance ==<br />
Alterations in the composition, volume, or pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can lead to various medical conditions. These include [[hydrocephalus]], which is an excessive accumulation of CSF in the brain, and [[meningitis]], an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The analysis of CSF is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of many neurological diseases.<br />
