A

lamina terminalis

24
Q

The medial surface of the thalamus and hypothalamus forms the wall of the _______ ventricle. The optic chiasm, infundibulum, and the mammillary bodies of the hypothalamus forms its floor

A

recesses

27
Q

Recesses are areas which have evaginated from the diencephalon. What are the 4 recesses of the 3rd ventricle?

A

1) optic recess (anterior to optic chiasm)
2) infundibulum recess (posterior to optic chiasm)
3) pineal recess (lies between the pineal stalk)
4) suprapineal recess (above the body of the pineal gland)

28
Q

The _____________ foramen, in the anterior part of each wall of the 3rd ventricle, is an important radiological landmark. Blockage of one of the foramens is a common cause of obstructive or noncommunicating hydrocephalus

A

interventricular

29
Q

The 4th ventricle is sandwiched between the cerebellum posteriorly and the ______ and rostral medulla anteriorly. The floor is relatively flat, as it narrows in both directions it takes on a rhomboid shape. The 4th ventricle narrows rostrally into the cerebral aqueduct and caudally into the central canal of the spinal cord. The lateral side of the rhomboid forms tubular projections called the ____________ of the 4th ventricle

A

pons, lateral recess

30
Q

The rostral portion of the roof of the 4th ventricle is the _____________________, and the caudal portion is the _______________________

A

superior medullary velum, inferior medullary velum

(the superior medullary velum is a thin layer of white matter related to the cerebellum)

31
Q

The inferior medullary velum is a membrane containing the….

A

choroid plexus

32
Q

What does fastigium mean?

A

tip of tent

33
Q

There are 3 apertures in the 4th ventricle through which the ventricular system communicates freely with subarachnoid space. What are the 3 apertures?

A

a single median aperture also known as foramen of megendie (in the inferior medullary velum)

2 lateral apertures also known as foramina of Luschka (inferior medullary velum covers the lateral recess, and at the end of each recess is the lateral aperture)

***note: the CSF flows down the posterior side of central canal and then back up the anterior side
