FORMATION OF CSF 04

. CSF is formed by choroid plexuses , situated within the ventricles .

FUNCTIONS OF CSF
PROTECTIVE FUNCTION 06
Act as a buffer and protects from the shock
And it helps to float CSF.

REGULATION OF CRANIAL CONTENT VOLUME

Increase in the cranial content leads to cerebral hemorrhage and
Brain tumors.
So CSF absorb the increased content of cranial content and
Give space to the cranial content.

MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE
CSF act as a medium and transport nutritive substance to the brain
And collect waste from the brain and get back to the blood
