The space between the layers of the brain is filled with fluid is called ...........

  1. Cerebrospinal fluid

  2. Pleural fluid

  3. Synovial fluid

  4. Aqueous humour


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
A. Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear liquid produced within spaces in the brain called ventricles. Like saliva, it is filtrate of blood. It is also found inside the subarachnoid space of the meninges which surrounds both the brain and spinal cord.
B. Pleural fluid is a thin translucent fluid that fills the cavity between the parietal(outer) and visceral(inner) pleural layers surrounding the lungs.
C. Synovial fluid also called synovia is a vicious, non- Newtonian fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints.
D. Aqueous is a thin, watery fluid located in the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye.
So, the correct answer is "Cerebrospinal fluid".

The function of choroid plexus and ependymal cells is?

  1. To produce lymph

  2. To produce blood

  3. To produce cerebrospinal fluid

  4. To produce endolymph


Correct Option: A

The amount of cerebrospinal fluid in an adult healthy human being is about.

  1. $200$ml

  2. $120$ml

  3. $60$ml

  4. $300$ml


Correct Option: A

The function of cerebrospinal fluid does not include

  1. Protection of brain and spinal cord by containing antibody

  2. Protection of delicate brain and spinal cord from shock

  3. As a medium for excretion of waste product

  4. Buoyancy to brain


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary function of CSF is to cushion the brain within the skull and serve as a shock absorber for the central nervous system. CSF also circulates nutrients and chemicals filtered from the blood and removes waste products from the brain.

Cerebrospinal fluid occurs

  1. Between arachnoid and duramater

  2. Beneath piamater

  3. Between arachnoid and piamater

  4. Between duramater and cranium


Correct Option: C

Choroid plexus produces 

  1. Lymph

  2. Endolymph

  3. Cerebrospinal fluid

  4. All the above


Correct Option: C

Fluid found between piamater and arachnoid is

  1. Subdural fluid

  2. Cerebrospinal fluid

  3. Tissue fluid

  4. Lymph


Correct Option: B

The amount of CSF in the cranial cavity is

  1. 500 ml

  2. 140 ml

  3. 1 litre

  4. 1.5 ml


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The total volume of CSF in the adult ranges from 140 to 270 ml. The volume of the ventricles is about 25 ml. CSF is produced at a rate of 0.2 - 0.7 ml per minute or 600-700 ml per day.

Ventricles of brain are filled with a fluid called

  1. Lymph

  2. Endolymph

  3. Plasma

  4. Cerebrospinal fluid


Correct Option: D

What is pH of cerebrospinal fluid

  1. 1.23

  2. 6.82

  3. 7.00

  4. 7.33


Correct Option: D

Cerebrospinal fluid is present

  1. Beneath the pia mater

  2. Between pia mater and arachnoid mater

  3. Between arachnoid and dura mater

  4. In extra dura mater

  5. Between the dura mater and cranium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless body fluid found in the brain and spine. It is located in the subarachnoid space between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater. It acts as a cushion for the brain's cortex by providing mechanical and immunological protection to the brain inside the skull. Hence option B is correct.

Which of the following forms the cerebrospinal fluid?

  1. Choroid plexus

  2. Dura mater

  3. Arachnoid mater

  4. Cerebrum and spinal cord


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The choroid plexus is a nerve complex in the ventricles of the brain, where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced. The choroid plexus consists of modified ependymal cells. 

The function of cerebrospinal fluid surrounding CNS is to 

  1. Protect the brain from external jerks

  2. Provide nourishment and ${O _2}$ to the brain

  3. Take away unwanted substance from the brain

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D

The cerebrospinal fluid passes out from the ventricle of medulla oblongata into the space between meninges of brain through

  1. Foramen of Monro

  2. Foramen of magnum

  3. Foramen of Magendie and Luschka

  4. Foramen ovale


Correct Option: C

.......... fluid is found in ventricles of the brain.

  1. Sinovial

  2. Cerebrospinal

  3. Serum

  4. Plasma


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF),  is an alkaline fluid present in the brain and spinal chord. It is formed primarily, in the ventricles of the brain. It supports the brain and provides lubrication between surrounding bones and the brain and spinal cord. It act as buffer for the cerebrum.
So, the correct answer is option B.

The main function of cerebrospinal fluid is

  1. Nourishment of brain and spinal cord

  2. Functioning as cushion against shocks

  3. Keeping the central nervous system moist

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The cavities of the central nervous system are called the ventricles that are lined with the choroid plexus. The choroid plexus is made up of the inserted piamater, blood vessels, the ependymal cells. It is responsible for the formation of the formation of the extracellular fluid called the cerebrospinal fluid which drains the ventricles of the brain and spinal cord. The CSF is responsible for collecting the waste from the interstitial space, distribution of nutrients to the brain and spinal cord, act as shock collector during injuries and moistening of the central nervous system.

Hence, the correct answer is 'All of the above'

The function of choroid plexus is

  1. To produce lymph

  2. To produce blood

  3. To produce cerebrospinal fluid

  4. To produce endolymph


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The choroid plexus is made up of the piamater that is merged into the ventricles, blood capillaries and the ependymal cells that are epithelial cells. The ventricles of the brain contain the choroid plexus. Its function is to produce the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The CSF flows from the ventricles into the subarachnoid space through the Foramen of Magendie and Foramen of Luschka. Here it is absorbed by the arachnoid villi and secreted into the cranial venous sinus. From the cranial venous sinus, the CSF enters the blood circulation.

Hence, the correct answer is 'To produce cerebrospinal fluid'

Fluid present in and around the central nervous system is

  1. Cerebral fluid

  2. Cerebrospinal fluid

  3. Spinal fluid

  4. Tissue fluid


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The cavities of the central nervous system are called the ventricles that are lined with the choroid plexus. The choroid plexus is made up of the inserted piamater, blood vessels, the ependymal cells. It is responsible for the formation of the formation of the extracellular fluid called the cerebrospinal fluid which drains the ventricles of the brain and spinal cord. The CSF returns to blood via the arachnoid villi.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Cerebrospinal fluid'

Which of the following can be regarded functions of the cerebral spinal fluid?

  1. Protection

  2. Circulation

  3. Nerve transmission

  4. Both (a) and (b)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

  • CSF protects the brain and spinal cord from trauma.
  • CSF supplies nutrients to nervous system tissue.
  • CSF removes waste products from cerebral metabolism.
So, the correct option is 'Both (a) and (b)'.
