Usage examples of "cerebrospinal".

Sleep-deprived animals generate such molecules in their cerebrospinal fluid, and the cerebrospinal fluid of sleep-deprived animals induces sleep when injected into other animals who are perfectly wide awake.

He turned to the toxicology section, which had graphs of the results of the gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy of blood, cerebrospinal fiuid, and urine.

This was the provisional diagnosis despite the fact that the cerebrospinal fluid was clear.

Sometimes, a blockage develops in the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid.

The meninges and the contained cerebrospinal fluid, the sutures of the skull and other skeletal details are mentioned and described in clinical fashion.

One way in which the cerebrospinal fluid protects the brain is by helping to counter the effects of gravity.

The cerebrospinal fluid supplies a buoyancy that almost entirely neutralizes gravitational pull within the skull.

The cerebrospinal fluid acts as a cushion in all these cases, damping the relative motions of brain and skull.

The cerebrospinal fluid is also to be found in the hollows within the brain and spinal cord, and this brings us to another point.

These hollows the central canal and the various ventricles are filled with cerebrospinal fluid.

These blood vessels leak, and are the source of the cerebrospinal fluid.

The cerebrospinal fluid circulates through the various ventricles, and in the fourth ventricle escapes through tiny openings into the subarachnoid space outside the pia mater.

Since cerebrospinal fluid is continually seeping into the ventricles, it must be allowed to escape somewhere.

These are richly supplied with blood vessels, and into these the cerebrospinal fluid is absorbed.

It is possible for the circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid to be interfered with.
