Lumbar cistern

138
Q

Choroid plexuses

A
  • produces cerebral spinal fluid in the ventricles from filtered arterial blood
139
Q

CSF circulation

A
  • It passes from the lateral ventricles, through the foramina of Monro to the third ventricle and through the aqueduct to the fourth ventricle and central canal.
  • It passes into the subarachnoid space via the foramina of Luschka and Magendie.
  • It then circulates all around the CNS in the subarachnoid space, providing a shock absorptive function.
  • It eventually passes from the subarachnoid space in the region of the root of the falx. In this region, the arachnoid mater penetrates through the dura into the superior sagittal sinus.
  • The CSF can thus filter through the arachnoid villi into the sinus, which is also filled with venous blood.
  • The sinuses eventually empty into the internal jugular vein.

Splanchnic nerves travel to

A

organs (viscera)

311
Q

4 possible pathways that the preganglionic component of the splanchnic nerves must follow:

A
