Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by modified epithelial cells in the thin membrane that lines the ventricular system of the brain and the spinal cord. These modified epithelial cells are named the ependyma. Each of the cerebral ventricles has an associated choroid plexus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system) which produce and secrete cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebral ventricles are interconnected spaces within the brain that permit the fluid to circulate in a specific manner. (see http:/www.answers.com/topic/cerebrospinal-fluid?cat=health for an excellent diagram).

The four chambers within the brain where cerebrospinal fluid is produced are called?
Two lateral ventricles, third ventricles and the forth ventricles produce the cerebrospinal fluid.
What are the interconnecting spaces that produce and serve as a reservoir for cerebrospinal fluid in the brain called?
The interconnected spaces that produce and serve as a reservoir for cerebrospinal fluid in the brain are called ventricles. There are four ventricles in the brain - two lateral ventricles, a third ventricle, and a fourth ventricle. These ventricles are responsible for the production, circulation, and drainage of cerebrospinal fluid.

What does the Choroid plexus produce?
The choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF is a clear, colorless fluid that provides important protection and nourishment to the brain and spinal cord. It also helps to remove waste products from the central nervous system.

Do the skull meninges and cerebrospinal fluid protect the brain?

What is a cerebrospinal fluid?
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is a laboratory test to examine a sample of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
