Question

SECTION 6: Ventricles of the Brain A. Inside the cerebral hemispheres and brainstem is a series of interconnected cavities called ventricles. These spaces are continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord and contain cerebrospinal fluid. The lateral ventricles (first and second ventricles) are the largest, and lie within the right and left cerebral hemispheres. The third ventricle is a narrow cavity along the midline of the brain in the area of the diencephalon. The fourth ventricle lies between the cerebellum and the brainstem. The cerebral aqueduct (aqueduct of the midbrain) is a narrow canal that connects the third and fourth ventricles. Label Figure 13.8 with the terms provided. Refer to your textbook as a guide.
