What is cerebrospinal fluid?
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear liquid produced in the ventricles of the brain, that fills and protects cavities in the brain and spinal cord.
What are the four fluid filled cavities in the brain covered by?
The four fluid-filled cavities in the brain are called ventricles. They are covered by a thin membrane called the choroid plexus, which produces cerebrospinal fluid that fills the ventricles and surrounds the brain and spinal cord.
Fluid that fills the pericardial sac acts to decrease what during heart activity?
Fluid filling the heart decreases the stroke volume by impeding dilation of the ventricles.
What is the chamber that fills when you hear the first sound?
The ventricles
The ventricles of the brain are hollow chambers that serve as passageways for the circulation of what?
The ventricles contain something called the Choriod plexus. The cells of this plexus produce the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This fuid fills the ventricles and flows down into the spinal chord as well around the subarachnoid space holding the brain suspended.
What is the medical term meaning fluid-filled cavities in the brain?
The ventricles are the fluid-filled cavities of the brain.
Where is the CSF formed?
CSF, otherwise known as cerebrospinal fluid is a colorless liquid which fills and surrounds the brain and spinal cord, creating a protective barrier. It originates in the ventricles of the brain.
What are the interconnecting spaces that produce and serve as a reservoir for cerebrospinal fluid in the brain called?
The interconnected spaces that produce and serve as a reservoir for cerebrospinal fluid in the brain are called ventricles. There are four ventricles in the brain - two lateral ventricles, a third ventricle, and a fourth ventricle. These ventricles are responsible for the production, circulation, and drainage of cerebrospinal fluid.
The four chambers within the brain where cerebrospinal fluid is produced are called?
The four chambers within the brain where cerebrospinal fluid is produced are called the ventricles. The lateral ventricles are located in each cerebral hemisphere, while the third ventricle is in the diencephalon, and the fourth ventricle is between the brainstem and the cerebellum.
What structures contain cerebrospinal fluid?
The brain (cerebro-) and the spinal cord (-spinal) are both surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid. It fills the space between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater. The CSF is a colorless liquid that is secreted from the blood into the lateral ventricles of the brain and functions to maintain pressure within the brain and spinal cord.
Cavities in the brain contain?
VENTRICLES. :) they contain cerebrospinal fluid .! ----THE ANATOMY STUDENT
What are the fluid filled spaces within brain?
Those holes are called Ventricles, and together are part of the ventricular system. There are 4 ventricles altogether in the brain: 2 lateral ventricles (right and left) a third ventricle and a fourth ventricle (names are not very original, but thankfully easy to remember).
