Ventricles
WVSOM -- Medical Neuroscience -- Ventricles
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What foramen are on the lateral sides of the fourth ventricle and where do they lead? | Foramen of Luschke that open to the sub-arachnoid space |
| What is the central opening of the 4th ventricle and where does it go? | Foramen of magendie which provides communication |
| Where is the 4th ventricle? | on the dorsal surface of teh brain stem beneath the cerebellum |
| What does teh third ventricle separate? | left and right diencephalon |
| How does the 3rd ventricle connect to the 4th ventricle? | cerebral aqueduct |
| Where does teh cerebral aqueduct pass thru? | the length of the midbrain |
| What is the rostral border of the 3rd ventricle? | lamina terminalis |
| What does the lateral ventricle contain? | large amounts of chorid plexus |
| Describe the production of CSF | predominantly in the choroid plexus predominently in lateral ventricles. capilaries in the plexus are large, thin and fenestrated. Na+ is secreted by choroid peithelial cells into the CSF follwed by passive meovement of water from teh chorid capillaries |
| How much CSF is produced a day? | 400-500ml |
| How much total CSF is in the body at a time? | 150ml |
| Describe the flow of CSF | flows from the lateral vetnricle thru the interventricular foramen into the 3rd ventricle and then into the fourth ventricle via the cerebral aqueduct. CSF leaves teh ventrices thru the 3 aperatures of the 4th ventricle to enter the subarachnoid space |
| How does most CSF leave the 4th ventricle? | median apperature |
| How is CSF reabsorbed? | reabsorbed into the venous system by passing into thedural venous sinuses. along the sinuses are aracnoid villi which consist of invatination of arachonid mater where reabsorption occurs. |
| What does reabsoprtion occur in the arachonid villi? | there is higher hydrostatic prssure in the subarachnoid space than the sinus lumen |
| What is communicating hydrocephalus? | impaired CSF reabsorption, obstruction of flow in SAS or rarely excess CSF production |
| What is non-communicating hydrocephalus? | obstruction of flow within the ventricular system. Common at narrow poitns such as foramen or aqueduct |
| What are symptoms of hyrdocephalus? | headach, N/V, cognitive impairment, decreased LOC, papilledema and decreased visual function |
