GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The central canal is part of a system of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cavities that includes the cerebral ventricle, aqueduct of Sylvius, and fourth ventricle (Figures 3-4) [2]. It is situated in the gray commissure, which (along with the anterior white commissure) connects the two parts of the spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-2: -The central canal carries cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which it receives from the ventricular system of the brain. The central canal helps to transport nutrients to the spinal cord as well as protect it by cushioning the impact of a force when the spine is affected.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless, watery fluid that flows in and around your brain and spinal cord. Your brain and spinal cord make up your central nervous system. It controls and coordinates everything you do, including your ability to move, breathe, see think, and more.

Detailed explanation-4: -The central canal is the longitudinal CSF-filled space which runs the entire length of the spinal cord and represents the most caudal portion of the ventricular system.
