Q

Which of the following is a correct statement? Which of the following is a correct statement? _Cerebrospinal fluid circulates in the space between the arachnoid and dura mater. _The superior sagittal sinus lies in the falx cerebelli. _Cerebrospinal fluid enters the venous circulation through the arachnoid granulations. _A blocked interventricular foramen will result in an increase in pressure in the third ventricle.

A

Cerebrospinal fluid enters the venous circulation through the arachnoid granulations.
