CSF Fluid Dynamics

Meaning

CSF Fluid Dynamics refers to the continuous and complex processes governing the production, active circulation, and ultimate absorption of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) within the intricate ventricular system and the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This vital fluid serves multiple non-negotiable roles, acting as a physical protective cushion, a lymphatic-like system for metabolic waste clearance, and a crucial medium for the transport of neurohormones and essential nutrients throughout the central nervous system. Maintaining proper fluid pressure and flow is critical for preserving neurological homeostasis and preventing cellular toxicity.
