Content:
- Cerebrospinal fluid = Ventricular fluid
Fluid compartments & fluid balance in
the CNS
Extracellular fluid in the CNS :
1. CSF
2. Interstitial fluid (15 - 20% brain volume)
Other sites are the choroid plexus, diffusion into brain and
capillaries, veins and lymphatics placed around spinal nerve
roots.
CSF Circulation
Pathway:
Lateral ventricles interventricular foramen
Third ventricle Cerebral aqueduct Fourth
ventricle Foramina of Magendie & Luschka
Subarachnoid space arachnoid granulations
venous sinus of dura (superior sagittal sinus)
CSF Function
The CSF has several functions:
physical support, excretory function, intracerebral transport
and control of the chemical environment of the central
nervous system (CNS).
