What drains cerebrospinal fluid in to venous blood in the dural sinus?
The Cerebrospinal Fluid is absorbed into the venous blood in the dural sinuses through the arachnoid villi. Arachnoid villi connect the subarachnoid space to the superior sagittal sinus.
Where does Cerebrospinal fluid enter the bloodstream?
arachnoid granulations
What function reabsorbs cerebral spinal fluid back into the blood?
arachnoid granulations Normally the pressure of the CSF is higher than that of the venous system, so CSF flows through the arachnoid villi and granulations into the blood
What are the consequences of blocked arachnoid villi?
Arachnoid villi can be compared to the drain in your shower or sink. Think about a wad of hair covering the drain. The water cannot drain out and if more water is added without removing the blockage, there will be a build-up of water. It is the same with your arachnoid villi. If blockage occurs, the cerebrospinal fluid won't be able to flow freely, thus building up pressure. This is called hydrocephalus or "water on the brain".
How is most of the CSF absorbed?
Most of the fluid is absorbed back into the bloodstream through vessels lining branched projections from the arachnoid membrane called arachnoid villi, or granulations. These arachnoid granulations extend into the dura

What is the function of the arachnoid villi?
it reabsorbs cerebrospinal fluid and returns it to the venous circulation
Cerebrospinal fluid flows from the fourth ventricle into what?
Cerebrospinal fluid flows from the fourth ventricle into the central canal of the spinal cord and the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain and spinal cord. From this space it drains through the dural sinuses into the arachnoid villi.

arachnoid granulations Normally the pressure of the CSF is higher than that of the venous system, so CSF flows through the arachnoid villi and granulations into the blood

What are the three types of villi?
The three types of villi are: Intestinal villi-microscopic finger like projections on the inner surface of the ileum. Chorionic villi-villi on the outermost membrane of the foetus. Arachnoid villi-villi on the arachnoid membrane of the brain.
Where does the cerebrospinal fluid circulates?
Choroid plexus> lateral ventricles> foramina of munroe> third ventricle> aqueduct of sylvius> 4th ventricle> formina of lushka and formen of magendie> subarachnoid space of spinal cord> Brain> Arachnoid villi Mneumonic: C LFTs'? A Freaking Forimina (Lushka and Magendie) Say Back Away! Weird, yes. Memorable? Most definitely.
What causes arachnoid granulation?
Arachnoid granulations (or arachnoid villi) are small protrusions of the arachnoid (the thin second layer covering the brain) through the dura (the thick outer layer).
What are the arachnoid villi?
They are small protrusions into the venous sinus
Where is sucrase secreted?
Sucrase is synthesized in the small intestine by the brush border, and secreted by the tips of the villi epithelium, particularly in the duodenum
