Term
______ is a cavity in the brain.
Definition
Ventricle.
Term
These are the largest ventricles
Definition
Lateral Ventricles.
Term
These communicate with the third ventricle via the interventricular foramen of Monroe
Definition
Lateral Ventricles.
Term
These are separated by the septum pellucidum.
Definition
Lateral Ventricles.
Term
Consists of two; one located in each cerebral hemisphere.
Definition
Lateral Ventricles.
Term
This ventricle is located between the thalmi of each side and it is narrow.
Definition
Third Ventricle.
Term
This ventricle communicates with the fourth ventricle via the cerebral aqueduct of Sylvius (which is located in the midbrain).
Definition
Third Ventricle.
Term
This ventricle is located in the pons and the medulla.
Definition
Fourth Ventricle.
Term
This ventrical is continuous with the central canal of the medulla, which in turn is continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord.
Definition
Fourth Ventricle.
Term
What ventricle opens by means of one median and two lateral apertures into the subarchnoid space.
Definition
Fourth Ventricle.
Term
How does the cerebral spinal fluid enter the subarachnoid space?
Definition
Via one median and two lateral apertures in the fourth ventricle.
Term
Where is the CSF formed and by what?
Definition
Formed in two lateral ventricles by choroid plexus.
Term
Where does CSF go after it is formed by the choroid plexus?
Definition
Interventricular foramen of Monroe.
Term
Where does the CSF go after the foramen of monroe?
Definition
Third Ventricle.
Term
Where does CSF go after Cerebral aqueduct of Sylvius?
Definition
joins with the CSF produced in fourth ventricle and passes through the apertures of the fourth ventricle into the subarchnoid space.
Term
After passing through the aperatures in the fourth ventricle and into the subarchnoid space, where does the CSF fluid go?
Definition
Travels upward around the brain and down around the spinal cord.
Term
After traveling upward around the brain and down around the spinal cord, where does CSF go?
Definition
CSF is circulated and enters the arachnoid granulation where it is reabsorbed and passes through the lateral lacunae to drain into he superior sagital sinus and finally in the venous system of the body.
Term
What reabsorbs the CSF fluid?
Definition
Arachnoid granulations.
Term
After CSF is reabsorbed by the Arachnoid Granulations, what does it pass through?
Definition
Lateral Lucunae.
Term
After passing through the lateral lucunae, the CSF drains into the _______ ________ ______ and finally into the _______ _______ of the body.
Definition
Superior Sagital Sinus; Venous System
