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.
