Enlarged chambers in the brain containing cerebrospinal fluid is called ventriculomegaly. If caused by increased CSF or increased CSF pressure, it is called hydrocephalus.
They are called as ventricles. You have two lateral ventricles, one third ventricle and one forth ventricle.

How does glucose and oxygen travel to the brain?
In blood and CSF
How CSF is formed?
CSF is mainly produced by a structure in the brain called the choroid plexus. It flows through the third and fourth ventricles into the subarachnoid space and then gets absorbed into the blood stream. CSF plays several key roles including protecting the brain from injury, removing waste products from the brain, and transports hormones between various areas of the brain.
Which fluid is present in the brain?
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colourless liquid that fills and surrounds the brain and the spinal cord. It also provides a mechanical barrier that acts as shock absorber. CSF is formed primarily in the ventricles of the brain by the choroid plexuses; it supports the brain and provides lubrication between surrounding bones and the brain and spinal cord. The fluid also helps maintaining the intracraneal pressure relatively stable and within normal homeostatic levels. Any increase in cranial volume of blood or brain tissue results in a corresponding decrease in CSF and vice versa. The CSF also transports metabolic waste products, antibodies, chemicals, and pathological products of disease away from the brain and spinal cord tissue into the bloodstream. CSF is slightly alkaline and is about 99 percent water. There are about 100 to 150 ml of CSF in the normal adult human body.(Ahmed Urbizo, MDC STUDENT)
What benefit does CSF provide to the areas it covers?
Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) serves to cushion these relatively delicate structures, as well as supplying important nutrients for brain cells.
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.
CSF containing cavity inside the brain tissue?
ventricle
What is the fluid that surrounds the brain?
It's called CSF, or cerebral-spinal fluid.
What is the brain surrounded by?
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, watery liquid that surrounds the brain.
What contains CSF?
The spine and brain contain Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
How is the brain procted by fluid?
The brain is protected by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It flows through the ventricles in the brain and between the meninges, the layers of tissue between the brain and the skull. CSF supports and cushions the brain from blows.
How is brain protected from injury and shock?
Brain is covered by a 3 layered membrane called meninges.In between the layers of MENINGES and brain cavity fluid named CEREBRO SPINAL FLUID(CSF) is filled.The hard SKULL covers the meninges. Thus MENINGES,CSF and SKULL protects our brain for a certain extent.
Where does the csf drain from subarachnoid space?
In the brain we have small protrusions of the arachnoid and subarachnoid space into the venous system. These protrusions are called arachnoid villi or arachnoid granulations and they allow for drainage of CSF into the venous system. Another source of CSF drainage is the lymphatic system.
How does glucose and oxygen travel to the brain?
In blood and CSF
What is an abnormal accumulation of CSF in the ventricles of the brain?
Hydrocephalus
What are interconnecting cavities of the brain filled with CSF?
ventricles
Is the cerebellum a liquid that surrounds the brain?
No, that liquid which surrounds your brain and circulate in the ventricles and central canals of the CNS is called cerebro-spinal fluid (or better known as CSF).
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.
