11.2: Ventricles and Cerebrospinal Fluid 2.1 Atoms, Ions, and Molecules Sponge: Set up Cornell Notes on pg. 17 Topic: 11.2: Ventricles and Cerebrospinal Fluid Essential Question: • On pg. 16, draw a picture that shows the pattern of CSF circulation Must have COLOR ESSAYS due TOMORROW!!!!!
Ventricles: • Located within the cerebral hemispheres and brainstem • Interconnected cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid • Lateral ventricles- 2 large ventricles in the right and left cerebral hemispheres • Third ventricle- midline of the brain • Fourth ventricle- in the brainstem • cerebral aqueduct- lead to subarachnoid space in the meninges
Cerebrospinal fluid: • Secreted by choroid plexus • Circulates in ventricles, central canal of spinal cord, and subarachnoid space • Clear liquid that completely surrounds brain and spinal cord • Provides nutrition (sodium, glucose, potassium) • Provides a pathway to blood for waste • Helps maintain stable ion concentrations in CNS • Protects the brain and spinal cord by absorbing forces that might otherwise jar and damage their delicate tissues
Impact from car crash Shaken Baby Syndrome
Concussion Latin: “To shake violently”
Concussion Videos • Concussion-Helmets • Impact of a concussion
Humans secrete nearly 500 milliliters of cerebrospinal fluid daily • However only about 140 milliliters are in the n.s. at any time because it is continuously reabsorbed into the blood • CSF is reabsorbed through the arachnoid granulations

Turn in ESSAYS • If you have a hard copy, please take it out • Take out your direction sheet (name/period)
Spinal tap: Measures CSF pressure • A needle is inserted into the subarachnoid space in the lumbar vertebrae • Samples of CSF maybe withdrawn and tested for abnormal results • A temporary drain, called a shunt, may be inserted to relieve pressure
Clinical Application 11.1 What are three things that can increase CSF pressure within the ventricles? Summarize the steps (4) of how a spinal tap is performed. What is the purpose of a shunt? Why would an infant need a shunt?
Clinical Application 11.1 • What are three things that can increase CSF pressure within the ventricles? • An infection • A tumor • A blood clot • 2. Summarize the steps (4) of how a spinal tap is performed. • A doctor inserts a hollow needle into the subarachnoid space • A manometer measures the pressure of the CSF fluid • CSF tested for abnormal constituents (ex: red blood cells can indicate a hemorrhage in the CNS) • A temporary drains is inserted to relieve pressure • 3. What is the purpose of a shunt? • Drains fluid away from the cranial cavity and into the digestive tract where it can be reabsorbed into the blood • 4. Why would an infant need a shunt? • The cranial sutures have not yet united- increasing pressure (ICP) may enlarge cranium -“Water on the brain”
