3 Quizzes 9/27: Ventricular System 11/20: Brainstem and Basal Ganglia 12/6: Cranial Nerves Clinical Notebooks Due: 11/13----no late submissions accepted 2 Exams 11/1: Somatosensory System, Visual System, Central Auditory System, and Vestibular System 11/27: Motor System: Cortical Level, Cerebellum, Brainstem, Basal Ganglia and Spinal Cord Class grades
Learning Objectives • 1. Describe the meninges, their locations, and their functions. • 2. Identify parts of the ventricular cavities. • 3. Discuss functions of cerebrospinal fluid. • 4. Describe the mechanism of cerebrospinal fluid production. • 5. Describe the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid. • 6. Explain the diagnostic significance of the cerebrospinal fluid.
Protection of the CNS • Function: • CNS is fairly soft and gelatinous in nature • Basic protection
Meninges of the Brain • Three Meninges:

Ventricles • Inner Walls
Cerebrospinal Fluid • Structure: • Circulation • Function:
Choroid Plexus • Function: • Location:
Path of CSF Circulation • Pathway: • Flows from the lateral ventricles into the third ventricle • Via Monro’s foramen • Then flows from the third ventricle to the fourth ventricle through the cerebral aqueduct • Then flows from the fourth ventricle into the subarachnoid space through three apertures • Two lateral Foramina of Luschka • One mediodorsal Magendie’s foramen • Then travels to reach the inferior surface of the cerebrum and moves superiorly over the lateral aspect of each hemisphere • Some of it moves into the subarachnoid space around the spinal cord
The Ventricular System: Midsagittal View • Bhatnagar & Andy, 1995, Figure 18.2
Circulation of the CSF • Love & Webb, 1996, Figure 3-6
Clinical Considerations • Drainage of the CSF • Inadequate Drainage of the CSF
Clinical Considerations • Rate of CSF Production • Disassociation between Production and Absorption Rate of the CSF
Clinical Considerations • Hydrocephalus • Increased Pressure in the Brain • Sustained Pressure
MRI of Enlarged Lateral Ventricles Secondary to Hydrocephalus • Bhatnagar & Andy, 1995, Figure 18.3
