Cerebrospinal fluid:

  1. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colorless, watery fluid found in the meninges surrounding the central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord.
  2. This fluid is produced by the choroid plexus.

Functions:

  • It also helps transport nutrients to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and removes waste.
