BRAIN VENTRICLES

(Rabbia Yousaf)
Pharm-D
Rashid Latif College Of Pharmacy
The brain is bathed by the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Inside the brain, there are spaces (ventricles) filled
with CSF
There are 4 ventricles
 2 lateral ventricles are in the brain hemispheres
 3rd ventricle is in the diencephalon
 4th ventricle is between the pons, open medulla
and the cerebellum
 The 3rd & the 4th ventricles are connected by the
cerebral aqueduct
Lateral Ventricle
Definition :
It is the cavity of the cerebral hemisphere.
It is C-shaped.
It has 3 horns & central part.
Anterior Horn: in the frontal lobe.
Posterior horn: in the occipital lobe
Inferior horn: in temporal lobe.
Central part or body: in the parietal lobe.
Superior view of the ventricular system.
Anterior Horn
In the frontal lobe.
Roof:
Corpus callosum (trunk)
Floor:
 Corpus callosum (Rostrum)
Anterior:
 Corpus callosum (Genu)
Medially:
Septum pellucidum.
Laterally:
 Head of Caudate nucleus.
Body or Central part
Lies in the parietal lobe.
Roof:
 Corpus callosum (Trunk).
Floor:
 From lateral to medial it is formed by:
 Body of caudate nucleus,
 Upper surface of thalamus
Choroid plexus,
Body of fornix.
Medial wall:
Septum pellucidum.
Lateral wall:
narrow area at the meeting of roof & floor.
Posterior Horn
In the occipital lobe.
Roof, lateral wall, and floor:
 Are formed by the Tapetum of the corpus
callosum.
Medially:
 There are 2 elevations:
Bulb of posterior horn
Calcar avis
Inferior Horn
It lies in the temporal lobe.
Roof:
 Tapetum,
 Tail of caudate nucleus,
 Amygdaloid nucleus
Stria terminalis.
Floor:
 Hippocampus,
Fimbria of hippocampus & Collateral eminence.
Lateral wall:
Tapetum of the corpus callosum.
Third Ventricle

Third ventricle is a narrow slit-like cavity whose


lateral walls are formed by the thalamus and
hypothalamus on either side. At the rostral margin
of the midbrain, the cerebral aqueduct opens into
the third ventricle.
The roof of the ventricle is formed by pia-
ependyma, which spans between the two striae
medullaris thalami, situated along the dorsomedial
border of the thalamus.
In the rostral part of the third ventricle lies an
aperture, the interventricular foramen or
foramen of Monro, which is located between the
column of the fornix and the anterior pole of the
thalamus.
The lateral walls of the 3rd ventricle is formed of
the thalamus and hypothalamus.
Caudally, the third ventricle becomes continuous
with the cerebral aqueduct.
The interventricular foramen provides
communication, on either side, with the extensive
lateral ventricle located within the cerebral
hemisphere.
Fourth Ventricle

A tent shaped cavity filled with cerebrospinal


fluid.
Lined with ependyma.
Continuous above with the cerebral aqueduct of
the midbrain and below with the central canal of
the medulla oblongata and the spinal cord.
Lateral Boundaries

The caudal part ……the inferior cerebellar


peduncle
The cranial part…….the superior cerebellar
peduncle
Roof or Posterior wall
The tent-shaped roof projects into the cerebellum.
The superior part…….medial borders of the two
superior cerebellar peduncles and connecting sheet
of white matter called the superior medullary
velum.
The inferior part…….the inferior medullary
velum, which consists of a thin sheet devoid of
nervous tissue and formed by the ventricular
ependyma and its posterior covering of pia mater.
Choroid Plexus of the Fourth Ventricle is
formed the posterior inferior cerebellar
arteries
The choroid plexus has a T shape.
The ventricle part of the T is double.
Is formed from the highly vascular tela choroidea.
The tela choroidea is two layered fold of pia mater
that projects through the roof of the ventricle and
is covered by ependyma.
