Anatomic and Physiologic Aspects of the Cerebrospinal Fluid Space

  • Chapter
The Cerebrospinal Fluid

Abstract

The cerebrospinal fluid is the clear colorless fluid that fills the ventricular cavities and the subarachnoid space. The ventricles are the vestiges of the hollow tube that constitutes the central nervous system during embryonic development, and the subarachnoid space is the space over the exterior of the brain between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater.
