👉 Neural fluid, also known as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), is a clear, colorless liquid that circulates within the central nervous system, specifically around the brain and spinal cord. It serves multiple critical functions: cushioning and protecting these delicate structures from physical shocks, providing nutrients to neurons, and removing metabolic waste products. Produced by the choroid plexus in the ventricles of the brain, neural fluid flows through the ventricular system and into the subarachnoid space surrounding the spinal cord, ensuring that the neural tissues remain hydrated and free from harmful substances. This fluid also plays a role in maintaining the proper chemical environment necessary for optimal neural function.
