Why Cerebrospinal fluid under pressure in the spinal canal?
Cerebral spinal fluid is supposed to provide nutrition to the brain and spinal cord. It is secreted from the arteries and drains into the veins. That is how the blood flows. From high pressure arteries to low pressure veins. In between the fluid goes to interstitial compartment. Here the spinal fluid is like the interstitial compartment.
Does leaking spinal fluid cause a low blood pressure?
yes
What is the function of the spinal fluid sac in the human body?
The spinal fluid sac, also known as the meninges, serves to protect and cushion the brain and spinal cord from injury. It also helps to regulate the pressure and chemical environment around the brain and spinal cord.
How does the body lose spinal fluid?
Spinal fluid leaks can be caused by punctures or disease in the spinal cord.
When fluid builds up in the eye and causes damage to the optic nerve and the loss of vision the disorder is called?
High optic nerve pressure is associated with high CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) in the brain. The condition has two names: idiopathic Intercranial hypertension, or Pseudotumor Cerebri. When the CSF level in the brain spikes, it causes fluid to back up an build up in the optic nerves. Pressure in the optic nerve and in the brain can be decreased with diuretics(such as Diamox). Pressure in the brain can be relieved by spinal taps, or a surgical procedure where a shunt is inserted into the brain. The fluid in the optic nerves can be decreased by a surgical procedure called Optic Nerve Sheath Fenestration.
Fluid always move from areas of pressure to pressure?
Actually, fluid flows from areas of high pressure to low pressure. This pressure difference creates a force that drives the fluid movement. Fluids naturally seek equilibrium by moving from regions of higher pressure to lower pressure.
Would if you spinal fluid impinged?
What would happen if your spinal fluid was impinged
Does blood flow from high pressure to low pressure?
Any fluid does.
What is liquid around the brain and spinal cord?
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
Why does the high pressure powersteering line gets hot?
Because the fluid is hot and it is under high pressure.
Does something under high pressure want to stay at high pressure or go to something that is low pressure?
A gas or fluid will always move from a high to a low pressure if it can
How are fluid speed and fluid pressure related?
Fluid speed and fluid pressure are inversely related according to Bernoulli's principle. As fluid speed increases, fluid pressure decreases, and vice versa. This means that in a flowing fluid, areas of high speed will have lower pressure, and areas of low speed will have higher pressure.
