CSF AND THE BRAIN

                                              The ventricular system and CSF production

Updated 1/25

The brain is protected by a bony structure ( cranium).
There are three protective coverings under the cranium:
the dura mater, arachnoid mater and pia mater.

Beneath the arachnoid mater is a space known as the
Subarachnoid space.There are also hollow spaces 
inside the brain, called ventricles. 

CSF ( cerebrospinal fluid)is produced in these hollow
spaces ( 4 total). CSF is clear and acts as a buffer to
prevent injury. It flows without obstruction.
