Describe the production, circulation, and reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). What would happen if someone had excess CSF?

What will be an ideal response?


CSF is produced within the choroid plexus that lines the ventricles. CSF flows from the lateral ventricles through the third ventricle and through the fourth ventricle. CSF is eventually reabsorbed into the blood. If someone had excess CSF, the excess fluid would likely cause pressure in the brain, resulting in a variety of negative impacts.
