Document Summary

If you know answers to review questions, start working on those questions early. 5 days to a week: should be put up. Cerebral spinal fluid: fluid that sits in the brain and the ventricles. They way they are related to main divisions. A thin section: not ventricle, just a pipeline. Then you have a little hole connecting on both sides, the lateral ventricles with the third ventricle. Third is sitting in between the two parts of the thalamus. The fluid is produced in the choroid plexus of the ventricles. You produce about a pint of this a day. The brain can only contain a third of that at any one time. That whole system can only contain about 150 ml at one time. Circulation/flow where it gets produced, taken out, and then taken back to blood stream. Foramen: connecting the lateral ventricles to the third ventricle.
