CSF - A clear fluid that occupies space in and around the spinal cord and brain. Essentially the brain "floats" in it.
Synovial fluid - A thick, stringy fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints. With its egg-like consistency ("synovial" partially derives from ovum, Latin for egg), synovial fluid reduces friction between the articular cartilage and other tissues in joints to lubricate and cushion them during movement.
