Question 3

what is the interventricular foremen

Answer 3

between the lateral ventricle and third ventricle

Question 4

what is the cerebral aqueduct

Answer 4

allows for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to flow between the third ventricle and the fourth ventricle

Question 5

where does the CSF drainage/resorption of CSF

Answer 5

resorbed into venous system via dural venous sinuses – arachnoid granulations

Answer 6

1. Lateral ventricle
2. interventricular foremen
3. third ventricle
4. aqueduct od sylvius
5. apertures
6. subarachnoid space
