ventricles located in the center of the
telencephalon
Third ventricle
The ventricle located in the center of the diencephalon
Cerebral aqueduct
A narrow tube interconnecting the third and fourth ventricles
of the brain, located in the center of the
mesencephalon
Fourth ventricle
The ventricle located
between the cerebellum and the dorsal
pons, in the center of the metencephalon.
Choroid Plexus
The highly vascular
tissue that protrudes into the ventricles
and produces cerebrospinal fluid.
Arachnoid Granulation
Small
projections of the arachnoid membrane
through the dura mater into the superior
sagittal sinus; CSF flows through them to
be reabsorbed into the blood supply
