pontine cistern Explanation: Cerebrospinal fluid also occupies the ventricular system of the brain and the spinal cord. It is produced in the brain by modified ependymal cells in the choroid plexus. It circulates from the choroid plexus through the interventricular foramina (foramen of Monro) into the third ventricle, and then through the mesencephalic duct (cerebral aqueduct) into the fourth ventricle, where it exits through two lateral apertures (foramina of Luschka) and one median aperture (foramen of Magendie). It then flows through the cerebromedullary cistern down the spinal cord and over the cerebral hemispheres. 1-pontine cistern, subarachnoid cistern anterior to lower pons and upper medulla 2- interpeduncular cistern subarachnoid cistern anterior to cerebral peduncles 3-cerebellomedullary cistern subarachnoid cistern inferior to cerebellum and posterior to medulla receives CSF from fourth ventricle via lateral & median aperatures 4- lumbar cistern subarachnoid cistern inferior to conus meullaris, superior to end of dural sac at S2 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-07-03 01:11:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://anatomy.med.umich.edu/anatomytables/brain.html Anatomy tables |
