C shaped course through all the lobes of the cerebral hemispheres
lateral ventricles
located in midline region of diencephalon
third ventricle
betwen cerebellum posteriorly and pons and rostral medulla
fourth ventricle
connects lateral ventricles and 3rd ventricle
interventricular foramen of Monroe
between third and fourth ventricle
cerebral aqueduct of sylvius
exits from the fourth ventircle
mendian aperture (magnedie) and lateral apertures (luschka)
highly convoluted and vascular membranous material that produces and secretes CSF
choroid plexus
anatomical and physiological complex that controls movement of substances from gneeral extracellular fluid of the body to the extracellular fluid
BBB
true blood brain barrier
tight junctionsn of the endothelial cells of the cerebral capillaries
epidural hematomas will..
cross both hemispheres
subdural hematomas do not cross hemispheres (prevented by falx cerebri)
dura between two hemispheres
falx cerebri
dura between cerebrum and cerebellum
tentorium cerebelli
overlies the brain and does not enter sulci
arachnoid mater
but does enter major fissures
