It is produced by the specialised ependymal cells in the choroid plexuses of the ventricles of the brain, and absorbed in the arachnoid granulations . There is about 125mL of CSF at any one time, and about 500mL is generated every day . CSF acts as a cushion or buffer for the brain, providing basic mechanical and immunological protection to the brain inside the skull . CSF also serves a vital function in cerebral autoregulation of cerebral blood flow . </P> <P> CSF occupies the subarachnoid space (between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater) and the ventricular system around and inside the brain and spinal cord . It fills the ventricles of the brain, cisterns, and sulci, as well as the central canal of the spinal cord . There is also a connection from the subarachnoid space to the bony labyrinth of the inner ear via the perilymphatic duct where the perilymph is continuous with the cerebrospinal fluid . </P>
