Purpose. Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear liquid produced within spaces in the brain called ventricles. Like saliva it is a filtrate of blood. It is also found inside the subarachnoid space of the meninges which surrounds both the brain and the spinal chord.erebrospinal fluid is a clear liquid produced within spaces in the brain called ventricles.

Summary. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is contained in the brain ventricles and the cranial and spinal subarachnoid spaces. The mean CSF volume is 150 ml, with 25 ml in the ventricles and 125 ml in subarachnoid spaces.CSF is predominantly, but not exclusively, secreted by the choroid plexuses.Brain interstitial fluid, ependyma and capillaries may also play a poorly defined role in CSF secretion.he mean CSF volume is 150 ml, with 25 ml in the ventricles and 125 ml in subarachnoid spaces.
