CSF
12% of fluid in cranial cavity; in between cells
interstitial fluid
68% total fluid volume ( within cells)
intracellular

lymphatic
several organs are apart of lymphatic system

meminges
lympathic vessles become extensive at base of brain and exit skull alongside ___ ____
cranial nerves
surrounds all exposed surfaces of CNS in subarachnoid space and within ventricles
CSF
how is CSF made
by specialized ependymal cells of choroid plexus
the blood brain barrier is highly permeable tp
water, co2, o2
the bbb is impermeable to
plasma proteins and non lipid soluble organic molecules
exceptions to bbb are
areas of hypothalamus and pineal gland
substances flow directly into interstitial fluid, tight junctions form between endothelial cells
BBB
substances flow from vascular (blood) to plexus; vascular surrounded by chorooid is leaky (cappilaries); tight junctions are formed by choroid plexus
BCSF (barrier CSF)
