👉 Nerve fluid, also known as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), is a clear, colorless liquid that circulates within the central nervous system (CNS), comprising the brain and spinal cord. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of these structures by providing essential nutrients, removing waste products, and cushioning the brain and spinal cord from mechanical shocks. Produced by specialized cells in the ventricles of the brain and the choroid plexus, nerve fluid flows through the ventricular system and along the subarachnoid space surrounding the spinal cord, eventually draining into the bloodstream. This continuous circulation ensures a stable environment for neural function and contributes to the overall homeostasis of the CNS.
