👉 The examining 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 several critical functions, including providing nutrients to neural tissues, removing waste products, maintaining the brain's internal environment, and cushioning the delicate structures of the nervous system from mechanical shocks. Produced by the choroid plexus in the ventricles of the brain, this fluid flows through the subarachnoid space surrounding the spinal cord and bathes the brain and spinal cord, ensuring optimal functioning and health of the central nervous system.
