CSF Flow

Case-oriented problems - the ventricular system

 

Now repeat the names and secure this information in your long term memory!

When you're done, take a look at the case studies involving neurological deficits associated with problems of the ventricular system.

Study Questions

1. Which cranial nerve nuclei are near the surface of the floor of the 4th ventricle?
   
   
2. What functions are associated with: calcarine (striate) cortex; inferior colliculus; superior colliculus; trochlear nerve; vagal nerve?
   
   
3. Trace the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, and its production and absorption. Identify loci where CSF flow might be restricted, causing hydrocephalus.(e.g. atlas 7th pgs 28, 63D)
