Sound is a vibrational wave that travels through a medium. The speed of sound in a medium depends on. how quickly the energy of the vibration can be transferred across the medium. While the details of the. equations that are used to nd the speed of sound will vary depending on the state of the medium, the.
Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by tissues lining the ventricles of the brain. It flows through the ventricles by way of interconnecting channels and eventually flows into spaces around the brain and spinal column. It's absorbed primarily by blood vessels in tissues near the base of the brain.
The subarachnoid space is the canal in the spinal column that carries cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between the brain and the spinal cord. CSF is a clear fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord while protecting it, like a cushion, from exterior injury.hould there be increased pressure or swelling in the brain before the procedure, a lumbar puncture can cause fluctuations in the CSF fluid levels, resulting in brain herniation. Herniation is a dangerous event in which the brain stem or top of the spinal column is compressed by swelling of the brain.
