🗑
CSF is formed by capillary knots called___________   Chrodoid plexasus  
🗑
Chrodoid plexasus hand into the_____________ of the brain   Ventricles  
🗑
CSF flows from the lateral ventricles to the 3rd ventricle and then through the__________ to the 4th ventricle   Cerbral aquaduct  
🗑
Some CSF continues down the______of the spinal cord   Central canal  
🗑
MOst CSF circulates in to______ by passing through 3 tiny openingsin the walls of the_________   Subarachnoid; 4th ventricle  
🗑
CSF is formed and drained back into the venous blood at the same rate. If its drainage is blocked, a donditionn called______ occurs, which results in increased pressure on the brain. Usually in infants   Hydrocephalus
