Ventricle Structures
This ventricle is shaped like an arch
What is the lateral ventricles?
(chapter 1 & 2)
The primary function of the ventricular cavities in the brain is have this circulate
What is Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)?
(chapter 1 & 2)
The meninges protect and encase this structure
What is the Central Nervous System (CNS)?
(chapter 1 & 2)
The longest dural reflection and is named for its sickle cell shape
What is the falx cerebri?
(chapter 1 & 2)
These derive from the diencephalon
What is the thalamus, hypothalamus, and the third ventricle?
(Chapter 6)
There is one of these in each hemisphere
What are lateral ventricles?
(chapter 1 & 2)
Interruption in the circulation of CSF within the ventricles and/or flow to the subarachnoid space results in
What is hydrocephalus?
(chapter 1 & 2)
This fluid flows between the two inner meninges
What is Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)?
(chapter 1 & 2)
These are the dural extensions
What are the falx cerebri, falx cerebelli, and tentorium cerebelli?
(chapter 1 & 2)
The brain stem connects the diencephalon to this structure
What is the spinal cord?
(Chapter 6)
These ventricles are connected through the cerebral aqueduct
What is third and fourth ventricle?
(chapter 1 & 2)
CSF is secreted within the ventricles by this structure
What is the choroid plexus?
(chapter 1 & 2)
The outer most meningeal layer
What is Dura Mater?
(chapter 1 & 2)
The dural extension between the occipital lobes and the cerebellum
What is the tentorium cerebelli?
(chapter 1 & 2)
The cavity where the diencephalon lies
What is the third ventricle?
(Chapter 6)
These line the inner wall of the ventricular cavities
What is ependymal cells (glial cells)?
(chapter 1 & 2)
This ventricle contains structures that are associated with memory, emotions, and motor functions
What is lateral ventricles?
(chapter 1 & 2)
This membrane is closely attached to the entire surface of the brain
What is Pia Mater?
(chapter 1 & 2)
A small triangular vertical extension that separates the cerebellar hemisphere
What is the falx cerebelli?
(chapter 1 & 2)
The diencephalon is located beneath here
What is the cortex?
(Chapter 6)
This ventricle is a narrow pace between two thalami and is rostrally connected to two other ventricles
What is the third ventricle?
(chapter 1 & 2)
This ventricle has three openings
What is the fourth ventricle?
(chapter 1 & 2)
The subarachnoid space is between these meninges
What is Arachnoid Mater and Pia Mater?
(chapter 1 & 2)
The falx cerebri, tentorium cerebelli, and falx cerebelli are related to which meningeal layer
What is Dura Mater?
(chapter 1 & 2)
The oldest part of the diencephalon
What is the epithalamus?
(Chapter 6)
