  • CSF protects the central nervous system from external shock. The fluid acts as a cushion, absorbing and distributing forces that could potentially harm the delicate neural tissue.
  • CSF helps in the exchange of nutrients and waste products between the nervous tissue and blood. It acts as a medium for the transport of essential substances, including nutrients and oxygen, to the brain and spinal cord while aiding in the removal of metabolic waste products.
  • CSF maintains constant pressure in and around the brain. The fluid is produced continuously and circulates within the ventricles and subarachnoid space, helping to maintain a stable pressure environment for the brain.
  • Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
