  2. Ventricular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system

    Separating the anterior horns of the lateral ventricles is the septum pellucidum: a thin, triangular, vertical membrane which runs as a sheet from the corpus callosum down to the fornix. During the third month of fetal development, a space forms between two septal laminae, known as the cave of septum pellucidum (CSP), which is a marker for ...

  3. Lateral ventricles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_ventricles

    Lateral ventricles and horns The lateral ventricles connected to the third ventricle by the interventricular foramina. Each lateral ventricle takes the form of an elongated curve, with an additional anterior-facing continuation emerging inferiorly from a point near the posterior end of the curve; the junction is known as the trigone of the lateral ventricle.

  4. Corpus callosum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_callosum

    Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is a rare congenital disorder that is one of the most common brain malformations observed in human beings, [30] in which the corpus callosum is partially or completely absent. ACC is usually diagnosed within the first two years of life, and may manifest as a severe syndrome in infancy or childhood, as a ...

  5. Septum pellucidum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septum_pellucidum

    The septal area is also the location of the septal nuclei. It is attached to the lower part of the corpus callosum, the large collection of nerve fibers that connect the two cerebral hemispheres. It is attached to the front forward part of the fornix. The lateral ventricles sit on either side of the septum.

  6. Anatomy of the human heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_the_human_heart

    The heart is a muscular organ situated in the mediastinum.It consists of four chambers, four valves, two main arteries (the coronary arteries), and the conduction system. The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...

  7. Cave of septum pellucidum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_of_septum_pellucidum

    The septum pellucidum is a thin, laminated translucent vertical membrane in the midline of the brain separating the anterior horns of the right and left lateral ventricles. It lies posterior to the corpus callosum. Persistence of the cave of septum pellucidum after infancy has been loosely associated with neural maldevelopment and several ...

  8. Septal area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septal_area

    The septal area refers to the nearby septum pellucidum. It is located underneath the corpus callosum and in front of the lamina terminalis. The lamina terminalis is a layer of gray matter that connects the optic chiasma and the anterior commissure. [7] The septal nuclei in the septal area are essential in generating the theta rhythm of the ...

  9. Commissure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commissure

    A commissure (/ ˈ k ɒ m ə ʃ ər /) is the location at which two objects abut or are joined. The term is used especially in the fields of anatomy and biology. The most common usage of the term refers to the brain's commissures, of which there are at least nine. Such a commissure is a bundle of commissural fibers as a tract that crosses the midline at i
