42
Q

Flow of CSF through the ventricular system

A

CSF is secreted by choroidal epithelial cells of the choroid plexuses in the lateral, 3rd & 4th ventricles.

CSF leaves lateral ventricles

  • -> interventricular foramina
  • -> 3rd ventricle –> cerebral aqueduct
  • -> 4th ventricle
  • -> single median aperture
  • -> paired lateral apertures
  • -> some CSF leaves 4th ventricle through subarachnoid space
  • -> most CSF –> interpenduncular cisterns –> flows thorugh sulci + fissures on the medial and superolateral surfaces of subarachnoid space
