It protects the central nervous system
- C
It increases pressure at the base of the brain

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless fluid that circulates in the brain and spinal cord, acting as a cushion and protecting them from injury. It also delivers nutrients and removes waste products from the central nervous system. CSF decreases pressure at the base of the brain.
CSF protects the brain and acts as a cushion against sudden injury.
CSF protects the CNS by avoiding friction and injury.
CSF decreases pressure at the base of the brain.
