Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 9ILQ
Watch this animation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/CSFflow) that shows the flow of CSF through the brain and spinal cord, and how it originates from the ventricles and then spreads into the space within the meninges, where the fluids then move into the venous sinuses to return to the cardiovascular circulation. What are the structures that produce CSF and where are they found? How are the structures indicated in this animation?

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can be evaluated for signs of many diseases such as cancer, infections, and autoimmune syndromes. Which of the following spaces would not yield enough CSF for evaluation?
Group of answer choices
Dural sinuses

Please explain what cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) is, how it is made (structures involved); and discuss its complete circulation.
EXPLANATION ADDRESSING THE QUESTION ABOVE
Cerebral spinal fluid is a fluid that cushions the central nervous system and provides buoyancy to and helps nourish the brain. It circulates around the surface of the brain, interior ventricles, and surface of the spinal cord and central canal of the spinal cord. CSF is created by the ependymal cells in the choroid plexus and ventricles of the brain. CSF is made up mostly of water and also includes ions, nutrients like vitamin c and protein, and can pick up waste as it circulates. CSF circulation starts in the lateral ventricle where the choroid plexus and lateral ventricle creates or secretes the CSF. The CSF then flows through the ventricular foramen into the third ventricle. At the third ventricle, the CSF then flows through the cerebral aqueduct into the fourth ventricle. Then, the CSF exits the fourth…
Discuss the production, flow, and function of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
