When cerebrospinal fluid leaves the 4th ventricle where does it go next?
Added by Gregory R.
Step 1
Step 1: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) exits the 4th ventricle through three openings: the median aperture (foramen of Magendie) and two lateral apertures (foramina of Luschka). Show more…

Plexus in the fourth ventricle adds more CSF. Subdural. Aqueduct. CSF fills the space and bathes external surfaces of the brain and spinal cord. Subarachnoid. CSF is secreted into each ventricle by the choroid plexus and flows into the third ventricle where more is added. Choroid. Lateral. At arachnoid villi, CSF is reabsorbed into venous blood of venous sinuses. Frontal. Posterior. CSF then flows down the cerebral aqueduct to the fourth ventricle. Dural. CSF then flows out two lateral apertures and one aperture. Median.

Complete the sentences describing the ventricles and spaces associated with CSF in the central nervous system. Then place the sentences in order to describe the flow of CSF from superior to inferior.
Place a single word into each sentence to make it correct, then place each sentence into a logical paragraph order describing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. CSF is secreted into each ventricle by the choroid plexus and flows into the third ventricle where more is added. CSF then flows down the cerebral aqueduct to the fourth ventricle. CSF then flows out two lateral apertures and one median aperture. CSF fills the subarachnoid space and bathes the external surfaces of the brain and spinal cord. At arachnoid villi, CSF is reabsorbed into the venous blood of venous sinuses. The choroid plexus in the fourth ventricle adds more CSF.
