👉 The board fluid, often referred to as the "liquid spine" or "fibrous membrane," is a critical component of the spinal cord's supportive structure, providing both mechanical stability and flexibility. Composed primarily of collagen fibers and other connective tissue, it acts as a scaffold that maintains the spinal cord's shape and protects its delicate neural elements. This fluid-filled membrane also facilitates nutrient exchange and waste removal, ensuring the health of spinal cord neurons. Additionally, it allows for some degree of movement and flexibility, enabling the spine to bend and twist without compromising the integrity of the neural pathways.
