third ventricle located in diencephalon
aqueduct of the midbrain connects third ventricle to fourth ventricle
fourth ventricle becomes central canal of spinal cord
dura mater most superficial layer
endosteal outer
meningeal inner
dual sinuses largest is superior sagittal sinus; collects blood from veins of brain
dural folds falx cerebri, falx cerebelli, tentorium cerebelli
