👉 Expanding fluid, also known as cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), is a vital component of the central nervous system that circulates through the brain and spinal cord. It is produced primarily in the choroid plexus, a network of blood vessels and specialized cells within the ventricles of the brain. This fluid serves multiple crucial functions: it cushions and protects the delicate neural tissues from mechanical shocks, maintains a stable chemical environment around the brain by regulating ion concentrations and pH levels, and facilitates the removal of metabolic waste products. The production and circulation of CSF are tightly regulated by a complex interplay of physiological processes, ensuring that the brain and spinal cord remain healthy and functional.
