The ventricular system is continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord from the fourth ventricle, [3] allowing for the flow of CSF to circulate. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] All of the ventricular system and the central canal of the spinal cord are lined with ependyma , a specialised form of epithelium connected by tight junctions that make up the blood ...
Fourth ventricle location shown in red (E), pons (B); the floor of the ventricle is to the right, the roof to the left. The fourth ventricle has a roof at its upper (posterior) surface and a floor at its lower (anterior) surface, and side walls formed by the cerebellar peduncles (nerve bundles joining the structure on the posterior side of the ventricle to the structures on the anterior side).
Left ventricular end diastolic posterior wall dimension: LVPWd: The thickness of the posterior left ventricular wall. 8.3 mm, [20] Range 7 – 11 mm [21] Mean left ventricular myocardial thickness: Mean LVMT: Average thickness of the left ventricle, with numbers given as 95% prediction interval for the short axis images at the mid-cavity level [22]
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.
The cerebral aqueduct, as other parts of the ventricular system of the brain, develops from the central canal of the neural tube, and it originates from the portion of the neural tube that is present in the developing mesencephalon, hence the name "mesencephalic duct."
A ventricular outflow tract is a portion of either the left ventricle or right ventricle of the heart through which blood passes in order to enter the great arteries. [ 1 ] The right ventricular outflow tract ( RVOT ) is an infundibular extension of the ventricular cavity that connects to the pulmonary artery .
In vertebrates, the circulatory system is a system of organs that includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood which is circulated throughout the body. [1] [2] It includes the cardiovascular system, or vascular system, that consists of the heart and blood vessels (from Greek kardia meaning heart, and Latin vascula meaning vessels).
It also receives blood from the left marginal vein and the left posterior ventricular vein. [citation needed] Great cardiac vein (run upwards in the anterior interventricular sulcus to the left atrioventricular groove to form the coronary sinus; [6] Middle cardiac vein (ascends posterior interventricular sulcus to drain into coronary sinus); [6]
