B) initiation of some nerve impulses
C) nourishment of the brain
D) midbrain only​

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) initiation of some nerve impulses

Explanation:

this is what mastering a&p wants

The statement that is not a function of CSF (Cerebrospinal fluid) is the initiation of some nerve impulses.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a fluid of the nervous system that is secreted by the choroid plexuses. It is a clear, slightly alkaline fluid with a specific gravity of 1.005 and consists of the following:

  • water,
  • mineral salts, and
  • plasma proteins.

The functions of CSF (Cerebrospinal fluid) include:

  • it supports and protects the brain and spinal cord.
  • it maintains a uniform pressure around these delicate structures
  • it acts as a cushion and shock absorber between the brain and the cranial bones.
  • the buoyancy provided by CSF reduces the weight of the brain. Therefore it causes the reduction of brain weight.
  • it nourishes the brain by providing a medium for the interchanging of substances such as nutrients and waste products between it and the nerve cell

CSF is entirely different from a nerve cell which is capable of generating and conducting impulses.

Therefore the statement that is not a function of CSF (Cerebrospinal fluid) is the initiation of some nerve impulses. Option B
