Cerebrospinal fluid circulates throughout the brain and spinal cord.

A) Central nervous system (CNS): The complex of nerve tissues that controls the activities of the body.
B) Cerebellum: The part of the brain at the back of the skull in vertebrates. Its function is to coordinate and regulate muscular activity.
C) Cerebral cortex: The outer layer of the cerebrum (the cerebral cortex), composed of folded grey matter and playing an important role in consciousness.
D) Cerebrospinal fluid: The clear liquid that circulates throughout the brain and spinal cord.
E) Cerebrum: The anterior (front) portion of the brain, consisting of two hemispheres.
F) Cranial nerves: The nerves that emerge directly from the brain, in contrast to spinal nerves (which emerge from segments of the spinal cord).
G) Dendrite: A short branched extension of a nerve cell, along which impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.
H) Dura mater: The tough outermost membrane enveloping the brain and spinal cord.
I) Efferent nerve: A peripheral nerve that transmits impulses from the central nervous system to the effector organs (such as muscles or glands).
J) Ependymal cell: A type of glial cell in the central nervous system that is involved in producing and circulating cerebrospinal fluid.
