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.
The central nervous system is protected in many ways. First of all the brain sits inside the skull and the spinal cord is surrounded by a series of vertebrae. Inside these bony structures lie a series of layers of tissue referred to as meninges.These meninges surround the brain and spinal cord, and act as a protective lining adding additional layers of protection. Structure of the Nervous System by Richard H. Hall, 1998 Nervous System Hierarchy In the last lesson we examined the fundamental building blocks of the nervous system, the neurons.
