What Does CSF Stand For?

CSF stands for Cerebrospinal Fluid

Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless liquid that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord. It serves several critical functions, including protecting the central nervous system from injury, providing buoyancy to reduce pressure on the brain, and facilitating the removal of waste products. CSF plays a vital role in maintaining homeostasis within the central nervous system and is involved in the regulation of intracranial pressure and the delivery of nutrients to neural tissue.
