A)In adults, the rigid cranial cavity created by the skull is normally filled to capacity with three essentially noncompressible elements: the brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and blood. A state of dynamic equilibrium exists: If the volume of any of the three components increases, the volume of the others must decrease to maintain normal pressures in the cranial cavity. This relationship is known as the Monro-Kellie hypothesis. Normally either the blood or CSF would shift out the cranium to compensate for increased volume of one of these three components. The brain is noncompressible. The volume of these components must remain in balance, not be low.
