Cerebrospinal fluid is present in subarachnoid space. It provides shock resistance to the brain.

Lymph is a colourless fluid containing specialised lymphocytes which are responsible for the immune responses of the body. It is an important carrier for nutrients, hormones, etc Fats are absorbed through lacteals (lymph vessels) present in microvilli of the intestine.
