Cerebrospinal Fluid
... Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear bodily fluid that occupies the subarachnoid space and the ventricular system around and inside the brain and spinal cord. The CSF occupies the space between the Arachnoid and the Pia . It constitutes the content of all intra-cerebral, cisterns, and Sulci as well ...
