The brain is encased in the cranium, which protects it from injury.
The blood-brain barrier limits the access of blood-borne materials into the brain tissue.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is present in the nervous system, specifically in the cerebral ventricles, subarachnoid space, and central canal of the spinal cord.
The total capacity of the cerebral cavity enclosing the brain and spinal cord is approximately 150 mL.
The pressure of cerebrospinal fluid is maintained by a delicate balance between its production and absorption, with an average pressure of 10-15 mmHg.
