The cerebrospinal fluid is similar in compsition to_
Correct answer: D. Blood plasma
- A. Amniotic fluid
- B. Pleural fluid
- C. Synovial fluid
- D. Blood plasma
Explanation
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma share similar composition due to the fact that CSF is produced from plasma by the choroid plexus, a network of capillaries surrounded by brain tissue that releases substances into the capillaries, which are then taken up by the choroid plexus and added to CSF. CSF contains water, glucose, electrolytes, and proteins, with roughly 99% water, similar glucose concentration, and the same electrolytes as plasma, but only about 10% of the protein concentration of plasma.On the other hand CSF differs from all other fluids due to their different compsitions and functions.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
