What do the numbers 120 over 80 refer to?
blood pressure or BP, 120 refers to the amount of pressure produced when the ventricles of the heart contract and 80 refers to the pressure in the blood vessels (normally measured via the brachial artery in the humerus) when the heart is at resting. 120/80 is known as the ideal blood pressure.
The four chambers within the brain where cerebrospinal fluid is produced are called?
Two lateral ventricles, third ventricles and the forth ventricles produce the cerebrospinal fluid.
What is Cerebrospinal fluid produced by in the ventricles?
Cerebrospinal Fluid or CSF is produced by the ventricles in your brain.It protects and flows through your brain and the spinal cord. It acts as a cushion for them.
Why do heart beats sound like 2 quick beats?
The beats are caused by the valves in the heart closing. The first beat occurs when the ventricles contract. The pressure in them increases, so the atrioventricular valves close. The second beat occurs when the ventricles relax. As the pressure decreases, blood is sucked back from the aorta and pulmonary artery causing the semi lunar valves to close.
When the valves between atria and ventricles closed what sound is produced?
When the Aalves close between the Ventricles and the Artery what sounfd does it make.
What is the function of the septum pellucidum?
The function of the septum pellucidum is to cover and seperate the lateral ventricles. And by covering these ventricles it can also help keeping in the cerebrospinal fluid produced by the choroid plexus within those ventricles.
What does systolic stands for?
Systolic comes from the Greek word, "systole", which means to draw together or contract. Systolic pressure is the maximum pressure produced in the arteries when the left ventricle of the heart contracts.
What is produced by the ventricles and baths the brain and spinal cord?
Cerebral spinal fluid, or CSF.
What has increased the amount of food produced and the reduced the number of farms and farmers?

What makes the cerebral spinal fluid?
Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by an area of ventricles in the brain called the Choroid plexus.
What is the difference between contract and project?
A project is a temporary activity that ends with a new product being produced. A contract is temporary but a product doesn't have to be produced in contracts.
How and where is the CSF formed?
Most of the CSF is formed by the choroid plexuses in the ventricles of the brain. Some is also produced by ependymal cells.
