Question
Chapter 12.3, Problem 4QC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The contents of the ventricles and the reason for its presence.
Introduction:
The human brain has four ventricles or the cavities. The first and the second ventricle lie in the right and the left lateral hemisphere of the cerebrum. The third ventricle is present between the lobes of the diencephalon, while the fourth ventricles are located between the cerebellum and the pons. It extends up to the central canal of the spinal cord.
