Starting at the choroid plexus in the lateral ventricle, which of the following

Question

Starting at the choroid plexus in the lateral ventricle, which of the following pathways represent a correct order through which Cerebrospinal Fluid can flow. The image provided is to help you trace the flow of CSF. (choose all possible pathways) 1. lateral ventricles ? fourth ventricle ? third ventricle ? central canal ? subarachnoid space ? arachnoid villi 2. lateral ventricles ? subarachnoid space ? central canal ? arachnoid villi 3. lateral ventricles ? third ventricle ? fourth ventricle ? central canal ? subarachnoid space ? arachnoid villi 4. lateral ventricles ? third ventricle ? fourth ventricle ? subarachnoid space ? arachnoid villi

Explanation / Answer

The possible pathways are:

2. lateral ventricles subarachnoid space central canal arachnoid villi

3. lateral ventricles third ventricle fourth ventricle central canal subarachnoid space arachnoid villi

4. lateral ventricles third ventricle fourth ventricle subarachnoid space arachnoid villi

CSF is produces by the choroid plexus in the ventricle. From the lateral ventricle Csf flows to fourth ventricle through the third ventricle. Most of the CSF from the roof of fourth ventricle passes into the subarachnoid space. CSF also fills the central canal. As CSF accumulates it exerts pressure in the arachnoid villi.
