Irregularly shaped
Four ventriclesright lateral ventricle
left lateral ventricle third ventriclefourth ventricle
3. The lateral ventricles Situated within the cerebral hemispheres
One on each side of the median plane
Just below the corpus callosum

Lined by ciliated epithelium
They communicate with the third ventricle by interventricular foramina (foramina of Monro)
