How many are there?
4 in total; 2 lateral(side) ones + 3rd and a 4th one
Communicate w each other and are filled w CSF
Interventricular foremen is where?
Between the 2 lateral ventricles and the 3 rd one
Cerebral Aqueduct is where?
Between 3rd and 4th and its filled w CSF
3rd is enclosed by:
Diencephalon
4th is enclosed by:
Pons + medulla oblongata
cerebral aqueduct enclosed by?
Mid brain
Septum Pellucidum is where?
Between 2 lateral ventricles
*A neural tissue thats a physical barrier between them!
Central Canal is formed by?
4th ventricle as it narrows down
What type of CNS supporting cells are surrounding the ventricles of the brain?
Ependymal cells (Help circulate CSF w theyre cilia and are lining cavities of the brain)
How does the subarachnoid space get its CSF?
From the 3 apetures (1 middle + 2 lateral)
What are on the side of the 4th ventricle?
Lateral apeture (Holes for CSF to go to subarachnoid space and circulate it there for cushioning of the brain)
