Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless body fluid found in the brain and spinal cord. It is produced in the choroid plexuses of the ventricles of the brain. The subarachnoid space is the space that exists between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater. CSF circulates in the subarachnoid space, providing cushioning for the central nervous system, maintaining buoyancy, and facilitating the exchange of nutrients and waste products.
The epidural space is outside the dura mater and does not contain CSF. The subdural space is a potential space between the dura mater and arachnoid mater and typically has very little fluid (not CSF in normal physiological conditions). The pia mater is a thin membrane that closely adheres to the brain and spinal cord; CSF is not within the pia mater itself but in the subarachnoid space adjacent to it.
