Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Cerebrospinal fluid is found in the brain and spinal cord within the central nervous system.
Cerebrospinal fluid is found in the brain and spinal cord within the central nervous system.
Cerebrospinal fluid is not found in the frontal sinus. The frontal sinus is an air-filled cavity within the frontal bone of the skull, while cerebrospinal fluid is a clear fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord within the subarachnoid space.
The fluid filled spaces in the brain are called ventricles. The fluid is called cerebrospinal fluid
Most of the body's fluid is found inside cells (intracellular fluid) and in the space surrounding cells (extracellular fluid). The extracellular fluid includes the fluid within blood vessels (intravascular) and the fluid in between cells (interstitial fluid).
The hollow areas within the brain are called ventricles. There are four ventricles in the brain: two lateral ventricles, the third ventricle, and the fourth ventricle. These spaces are filled with cerebrospinal fluid which helps cushion and protect the brain.

The medical term for abnormally increased cerebrospinal fluid within the brain is hydrocephalus. This condition can lead to swelling of the brain, increased pressure within the skull, and symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and vision problems. Treatment may involve draining the excess fluid with a shunt or performing surgery to restore normal fluid flow.
synovial fluid
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can be found within the brain's ventricles and subarachnoid space surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It acts as a protective cushion for the central nervous system and plays a role in nutrient delivery and waste removal in the brain.
Cerebrospinal fluid is found in the ventricles of the brain (which are inside the cerebral cortexes and the cerebellum) as well as flowing around the meninges of the brain and spinal cord (on the outside of both structures).
