Cerebrospinal fluid collection, analysis, procedures and its clinical significance role in neurological diseases.

Lou Mersha

Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is a clear fluid that circulates in the intracranial and spinal compartments. Under normal conditions, the composition of sake remains constant. CSF maintains the electrolyte environment of the Central Nervous System (CNS), influences the acidbase balance of the system, acts as a mediator of nutrition for neuronal and glial cells, serves as the lymphatic system of the CNS and removes waste products. To do of cellular metabolism and hormones, neurotransmitters, releasing factors and other neuropeptides transported through the CNS. The delicate balance between cerebrospinal fluid secretion, composition, quantity and turnover is tightly regulated. Cerebrospinal fluid sampling is a test that examines the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. CSF acts like a cushion, protecting the brain and spine from injury. Liquids are usually clear. It has the same consistency as water. This test is also used to measure spinal fluid pressure. Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear, colorless, watery fluid that flows in and around the brain and spinal cord. The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system.
