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.
What else can I help you with?
What in the gray commissure of the spinal cord contains cerebrospinal fluid and is continuious with the ventricles of the brain?
The central canal of the spinal cord is located in the gray commissure and contains cerebrospinal fluid. It is continuous with the ventricular system of the brain, allowing for the circulation and exchange of cerebrospinal fluid between the brain and spinal cord.
A lumbar tap removes what kind of fluid?
A lumbar tap, also known as a lumbar puncture, removes cerebrospinal fluid from the spinal canal.
What is the small channel in the center of the spinal cord that contains cerebrospinal fluid?
Central Canal
Does the central canal contain cerebrospinal fluid?
yes the canal does contain cerebrospinal fluid....
What is the function of ependymal cells?
responsible for the lining of ventricular cavities (of brain). Other than the above-mentioned function, they also line the central canal of spinal cord. It is involved in the production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
What does spinal canal is patent?
When the spinal canal is described as "patent," it means that the canal is open and unobstructed, allowing for the normal passage of spinal nerves and cerebrospinal fluid. This indicates that there are no significant blockages or narrowing (stenosis) that could compress the spinal cord or nerves. A patent spinal canal is essential for maintaining proper neurological function and overall spinal health.
Cerebrospinal fluid flows from the fourth ventricle into what?
Cerebrospinal fluid flows from the fourth ventricle into the central canal of the spinal cord and the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain and spinal cord. From this space it drains through the dural sinuses into the arachnoid villi.
Through what part of a vertebra does the spinal cord pass?
The central canal of the spinal cord. The central canal, also known as ependymal canal, is the cerebrospinal fluid-filled space that runs longitudinally through the length of the entire spinal cord.
What diameter is the central canal?
The diameter of the central canal in the spinal cord typically ranges from 0.5 to 1 millimeter, although this can vary among individuals. The canal is a narrow, fluid-filled space that runs longitudinally through the center of the spinal cord and contains cerebrospinal fluid. Its primary function is to protect and nourish the spinal cord while allowing for the circulation of this fluid.
What is the fluid found in the central canal of the spinal cord?
the substances present in central canal are calcium , some hormone like throid hormone and other substances Type your answer here...
Where is cerebrospinal fluid?
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).
What is fluid in the spinal column?
It is called cerebrospinal fluid or CSF.
