  2. Fourth ventricle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_ventricle

    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).

  3. Ventricular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system

    The ventricles contained within the rhombencephalon become the fourth ventricle, and the ventricles contained within the mesencephalon become the aqueduct of Sylvius. 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 ...

  4. Roof of fourth ventricle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_of_fourth_ventricle

    The roof of fourth ventricle is the dorsal surface of the fourth ventricle. It corresponds to the ventral surface of the cerebellum. The upper portion of the roof is formed by the cerebellum. The roof of ventricle is diamond shaped and can be divided into superior and inferior parts.

  5. Rhomboid fossa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhomboid_fossa

    Its anterior wall, formed by the back of the pons and the medulla oblongata, constitutes the floor of the fourth ventricle. It is covered by a thin layer of grey matter continuous with that of the spinal cord; superficial to this is a thin lamina of neuroglia which constitutes the ependyma of the ventricle and supports a layer of ciliated ...

  6. Median aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_aperture

    The median aperture (median aperture of fourth ventricle or foramen of Magendie) is an opening at the caudal portion of the roof of the fourth ventricle. [1] It allows the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the fourth ventricle into the cisterna magna. [2] [3] The other openings of the fourth ventricle are the lateral apertures - one on ...

  7. Cerebrospinal fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_fluid

    From the fourth ventricle, the fluid passes into the subarachnoid space through four openings – the central canal of the spinal cord, the median aperture, and the two lateral apertures. [1] CSF is present within the subarachnoid space, which covers the brain and spinal cord, and stretches below the end of the spinal cord to the sacrum .

  8. Choroid plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choroid_plexus

    In the third ventricle, there is a small amount in the roof that is continuous with that in the body, via the interventricular foramina, the channels that connect the lateral ventricles with the third ventricle. A choroid plexus is in part of the roof of the fourth ventricle.

  9. Lateral recess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_recess

    The fourth ventricle is the lower blue mass. The little points sticking out on the left and right are the two parts of the lateral recess. The lateral recess or lateral recess of fourth ventricle, is a projection of the fourth ventricle which extends to the lateral border of the brainstem at the pontomedullary junction.
