vascular supply and ventricles Flashcards
location of lateral ventricles
cerebral hemispheres
location of 3rd ventricle
diencephalon
location of cerebral aqueduct
midbrain
location of 4th ventricle
pons/medulla
label the ventricles of the brain
The vascular _______ in each ventricle makes CSF.
choroid plexus (specialized ependymal cells)
CSF flows through the ventricular system and into the
subarachnoid space.
CNS acts as a ______ to protect CNS from traumatic injury.
“shock absorber”
describe the movement of CSF
Made in an ongoing fasion – flows from lateral ventral, foramen of monro, through to 3rd ventricle to cerebral aqueduct to 4th, then in back of 4th ventricle it has alternative routes – down central canal of spinal cord or could exit and enter subarachnoid space
CSF exits through the _____ in the 4th ventricle into the _____ outside the brain
dorsal holes
subarachnoid space
pathway external to the brain:
CSF is reabsorbed into _______ at _____ in cranial midline into cerebal sinuses
venous blood at arachnoid granulations
Hydrocephalus
Increased CSF in ventricles and/or subarachnoid space due to blockage of CSF flow
describe this
Blockage in exits from 4th ventricle.
Hydrocephalus of all ventricles
