how many ventricles are there |
two lateral ventricles 3d ventricle 4th ventricle |
|
|
what are the components of the lateral ventricles |
body frontal/anterior horn occipital/posterior horn temporal/inferior horn choroid plexus |

|
interventricular foramen |
- connects the lateral ventricles to the third |
|
|
Cerebral aqueduct |
- connects the third and fourth ventricles |
|
|
Foramen of Luschka - lateral exit foramen |
- lateral openings into the subarachnoid space (goes up) |
|
|
Foramen of Magendie: medial exit foramen |

what is the central canal of the spinal cord |
CSF-filled space that runs longitudinally through the length of the entire spinal cord. The central canal is continuous with the ventricular system of the brain. |
