frontal lobe due to a disruption of blood flow from MCA and/or ACA

Question 18

Question 19

What absorbs the CSF?

Answer 19

arachnoid granulations

Question 20

What is the flow of CSF?

Answer 20

lateral ventricles then 3rd ventricles via interventricular foramen then 4th ventricle via sylvan aqueduct then 2 exits laterally (foramen of Luschka) then 2 exits medially (foramen of Magendie) then subarachnoid space that fills the brain and spinal cord

What is one possible consequence of hydrocephalus?

Answer 21

The brain gets compressed due to blockage of CSF flow; this compression constricts blood flow , oxygen, and nutrients to brain tissue and the tissue die.
