regions of the brain Flashcards
name the ventricles of the brains
right lateral
left lateral
third ventricle
fourth ventricle
how is the lateral ventricles joined to the 3d ventricles
via the interventicular foramen (foramen of morno)
hoe is the 3rd ventricle connected to the 4th venatical
via the cerebral aqueduct
what makes the cerebral spinal fluid (CFS) and where does it make this
the choroid process makes the CFS and it located in the lining of the ventricles
where is the pinneal gland located and what is it involved in
located in posterior of the diencephalon and involved in the regularly of serotonin
where is he pituitary gland located and what is it involved in
in the anterior of the diencephalon and is involved in secreting hormones
where is the subnigra located and what is it involved in
located in the midbrain and involved in reward addiction and movement
what is the function of CFS
to protect the Brian by cushioning it
prevent excessive pressure on the bottom of the brain
and help create an environment that help the Brian functioning
what cells line the ventricle to creat the choroid plexus
ependymal cells
what projection does the lateral ventricles have
they have frontal, temporal and occipital horns
what happens to the lateral ventricles with age
they increase in volume
where is the 3rd ventricle situated
between the right and left thalamus
where is the 4th ventricle situated
in the brain stem between the pons and medulla
how is CFS drained in the cranial cavity
drains though arachnoid granulations into the super sagittal sinus where it is then returned to the venous circulation via the venous sinuses
