Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cerebrospinal fluid acts like a cushion that helps protect your brain and spinal cord from sudden impact or injury. The fluid also removes waste products from the brain and helps your central nervous system work properly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meninges. Meninges are membranes that support and protect the brain and the spinal cord. A clear fluid called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) travels in the spaces formed by the meninges. The most common type of brain tumour that starts in the meninges is called meningioma.

Detailed explanation-3: -The brain is protected by the bones of the skull and by a covering of three thin membranes called meninges. The brain is also cushioned and protected by cerebrospinal fluid. This watery fluid is produced by special cells in the four hollow spaces in the brain, called ventricles.
