Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is primarily produced by the choroid plexus, a network of blood vessels located in the ventricles of the brain. The process involves filtration and secretion, where blood plasma is filtered through the endothelial cells of the choroid plexus, allowing water, ions, and small molecules to pass while retaining larger blood components. This results in the formation of CSF, which circulates through the brain's ventricles and the spinal canal, providing cushioning and nutrients while removing waste.

Cerebral spinal fluid, or CSF.
Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by an area of ventricles in the brain called the Choroid plexus.

Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
cerebral spinal fluid cushions, protects and nourishes the brain and spinal cord.

Cerebral spinal fluid
It's called CSF, or cerebral-spinal fluid.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, watery liquid that surrounds the brain.
The fluid inside the spinal cord is called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF is a clear, colorless fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, providing protection and cushioning. It is produced in the brain's ventricles and circulates around the central nervous system, helping to regulate pressure and provide nutrients to the nervous tissue.
