Abstract:
Abstract The specialised histology and anatomy of the central nervous system (CNS) is reflected in its pathology. This is particularly so for the perivenular/periarterial spaces in which inflammatory cells accumulate in inflammation. These spaces, although structurally not lymphatics, act as lymphatics draining fluid from brain to subarachnoid space and to lymphatics draining to deep cervical lymph nodes. Inflammatory cells may enter or leave the CNS by this route. In immune-based inflammation, they are colonised by subsets of immune cells allowing the processing of antigen, synthesis of antibody and development of cell mediated immune reactions.

Anatomy of the Brain: Major Regions
The cerebrum is the largest section of the brain and divides into left and right hemispheres, separated by a deep fissure. The cerebral outer layer of grey matter — the cerebral cortex — comprises elevations called gyri and shallow groves called sulci. The inner portion of white matter includes long nerve fibers known as axons, which connect various areas...
Cerebrospinal Fluid
CSF Production
CSF is produced mainly in the choroid plexus, a network of capillaries and ependymal cells located within the ventricular system of the brain.
