Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), clear, colourless liquid that fills and surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and provides a mechanical barrier against shock. Formed primarily in the ventricles of the brain, the cerebrospinal fluid supports the brain and provides lubrication between surrounding bones and the brain and spinal cord. When an individual suffers a head injury, the fluid acts as a cushion, dulling the force by distributing its impact.
Brain and spinal cord are surrounded by membranes called the meninges. There are three layers - outermost dura mater, middle arachnoid and the inner pia mater. The space between the arachnoid and pia mater is filled with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It acts as a shock absorber. An infection of the meninges is called meningitis.
