Question
Chapter 8, Problem 33RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
1. The paralysis that may result in impaired speech.
2. The changes that might occur in the brain to allow gains to be made in speech recovery.
Introduction:
The brain of the vertebrates contains two cerebral hemispheres that are segregated from each other by a groove named longitudinal fissure. The two hemispheres namely, the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere, are engaged in various kinds of functions such as creativity, logical, movement of the limbs, and so on.

Please explain what cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) is, how it is made (structures involved); and discuss its complete circulation.
EXPLANATION ADDRESSING THE QUESTION ABOVE
Cerebral spinal fluid is a fluid that cushions the central nervous system and provides buoyancy to and helps nourish the brain. It circulates around the surface of the brain, interior ventricles, and surface of the spinal cord and central canal of the spinal cord. CSF is created by the ependymal cells in the choroid plexus and ventricles of the brain. CSF is made up mostly of water and also includes ions, nutrients like vitamin c and protein, and can pick up waste as it circulates. CSF circulation starts in the lateral ventricle where the choroid plexus and lateral ventricle creates or secretes the CSF. The CSF then flows through the ventricular foramen into the third ventricle. At the third ventricle, the CSF then flows through the cerebral aqueduct into the fourth ventricle. Then, the CSF exits the fourth…
