The third ventricle is involved in several functions of the body including:
The cerebrospinal fluid in the third ventricle will drain into the fourth ventricle.
The third ventricle
The pineal gland is the endocrine organ found in the roof of the third ventricle in the brain. Its main function is to produce and regulate melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate sleep-wake cycles.
The Choroid Plexus has a main function of filtering, removing waste, and foreign substances. It is also responsible for removing excess neurotransmitters.
lateral ventricle
It is very important to assess the function of the left ventricle. Using a sonogram, it is often easy to tell if there is hyperdynamic function in the left ventricle which often leads to heart failure.
the midbrain
The third ventricle, like all ventricles of the brain, contains cerebral spinal fluid.

The left ventricle pumps blood to the systemic circulation. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
No, it surrounds it.
The cerebral aqueduct is the narrow conduit, between the third and the fourth ventricles in the midbrain, that conveys the cerebrospinal fluid and thereby prevents its potentially deadly buildup in the brain. Also called the aqueduct of Sylvius.
