The lateral ventricles are cavities in each of the cerebral hemispheres containing cerebrospinal fluid. From these, the fluid flows into the third ventricle located between the right and left thalamus.

What is the function cerebrum?
The cerebrum is defined as a portion of the brain that occupies the upper part of the cranial cavity ( space formed inside the skull). The Function of the cerebrum is to store information of memory and furthermore utilize this information in reasoning processes. Also the cerebrum functions in helping to determine a person's personality and intelligence.
What are the areas within the cerebrum named for the bones that lie beneath?
lobes
Where is your cerebrum located?
AnswerSince cortex means the outer layer of an inner organ, the cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the cerebrum.(The cerebrum is the 'biggest' part of the brain as you look at a 'naked' brain, with all the loops and whorls on its surface, divided into two parts, the left and right cerebral hemispheres.)If you can imagine the cerebrum to be like a pie, then the crust would be the cerebral cortex. But the 'crust' is much thinner. The cortex is, actually, only the outer few millimeters of the upper brain, known as the cerebrum. It has 6 layers of differing types of neurons, where cognition and long-term memory occur, and is commonly referred to as the 'grey mater' of the brain.The other parts of the brain are the diencephalon, cerebellum, and the brain stem. These parts do not have a cerebral cortex, although the cerebellum does have an outer layer or cortex of its own, called the cerebellar cortex, most of which is actually hidden in interior folding within the cerebellum. The cortex of the cerebellum doesn't make direct connections to the cortex of the cerebrum, as all of the cerebellum's connections to other parts of the brain travel through the pons, a part of the brain stem.
What is the term for organs that lie within the abdominal cavity but not within the peritoneal cavity?
An organ can be in the abdominopelvic cavity but not the peritoneal cavity if the organ sits below the diaphragm but outside the peritoneal membranes. The kidneys, which are behind the peritoneal membrane (retroperitoneal) are such organs.

Do the kidneys lie within the peritoneal cavity?
Kidneys are retroperitoneal. There are in the abdominal cavity, but not in the peritoneal cavity.
