2. Name two functions of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Protect brain and spinal cord from trauma CSF performs vital functions including: support, shock absorber, homeostasis, nutrition, immune function. 3. Identify the components of the ventricular system and list the order of structures (page 339): a. b. c. d. e. f. 5. Put the following events describing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in order by writing the correct number (1-8) in the blank spaces: 7 CSF enters the subarachnoid space. 4 CSF travels down the cerebral aqueduct. 2 CSF passes through the interventricular foramina (foramen = opening) 5 CSF enters the fourth ventricle. 6 CSF passes through the two lateral and one median apertures. 1 CSF is released by ependymal cells. 3 CSF enters the third ventricle. 8 CSF is absorbed into the superior sagittal sinus by the arachnoid granulations.
