Summary Introduction
To determine:
The location of cerebrospinal fluid in the spinal cord.
Introduction:
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colorless liquid that is found in the brain and the spinal cord. Its primary function is to protect the brain and spinal cord from a shock. It also acts as a lubricant between the skull and brain. It also carries waste particles out of the brain and spinal cord into the blood stream, which is further filtered.
