The ventricular system

Dr. Morton explains the brain's ventricular system, detailing the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles, and the cerebral aqueduct. He describes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production, flow, and drainage, emphasizing its role in cushioning and buoyancy. The choroid plexus produces CSF, which flows through the ventricles and subarachnoid space, eventually draining into the bloodstream via arachnoid granulations.
