Exam 1: Ventricles and Cerebrospinal Fluid Flashcards
•Recall the material covered in Gross Anatomy concerning circulation, CSF and meninges. •Identify the components of the ventricular system and adjacent brain structures. •Identify the cisterns around the brain in brain slices or MRI/CT images. •Compare the composition of CSF to blood. •List the general functions of the structures that surround the ventricles.
