CSF is produced by the ____
A
corpus collosum
B
brain stem
C
ventricles
D
choroid plexus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The choroid plexus is a complex network of capillaries lined by specialized cells and has various functions. One of the primary functions is to produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via the ependymal cells that line the ventricles of the brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -CSF is secreted by the CPs located within the ventricles of the brain, with the two lateral ventricles being the primary producers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The CSF is secreted by the choroid plexus, a tissue located in each ventricle in the brain. CSF flows from the lateral ventricles to the third and fourth ventricles, then into the subarachnoid space of the brain and spinal cord via openings (foramena) below the cerebellum.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to the traditional understanding of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) physiology, the majority of CSF is produced by the choroid plexus, circulates through the ventricles, the cisterns, and the subarachnoid space to be absorbed into the blood by the arachnoid villi.
