Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear liquid produced within spaces in the brain called ventricles. Like saliva it is a filtrate of blood. It is also found inside the subarachnoid space of the meninges which surrounds both the brain and the spinal chord.

Answer:

The common thing that meninges and cerebrospinal fluid have in common is their primary function which is to protect the brain and the spinal cord

Step-by-step explanation:

Meninges is a composed of three membranes which serves as a protective cover for the brain and the spinal cord.

The three membranes that make up the Meninges are pia mater, arachnoid membrane and dura mater.

Cerebrospinal fluid is a fluid that is colourless and it is produces by the ependymal tissues that is found in the ventricles of the brain.

Meninges and Cerebrospinal fluid have a common primary function which is to protect the brain and the spinal cord from any form of damage or infection.
