Best Answer

The brain (cerebro-) and the spinal cord (-spinal) are both surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid. It fills the space between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater. The CSF is a colorless liquid that is secreted from the blood into the lateral ventricles of the brain and functions to maintain pressure within the brain and spinal cord.
