G. Trace the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Choose your answer from the key choices
provided and write the corresponding letters of your choices in the box provided.
Key choices:
A. Hydrocephalus B. Cerebral Aqueduct C. Choroid Plexus
D. Ventricles E. Central Canal F.Subarachnoid
Space
G. Fourth Ventricle

Cerebrospinal fluid is formed by capillary knots called (1), which hang into the (2) of the
brain. Ordinarily, cerebrospinal fluid flows from the lateral ventricles to the third ventricle
and then through the (3) to the fourth ventricle. Some of the fluid continues down the (4)
Of the Spinal cord, but most of it circulates into the (5) by passing through three tiny
openings in the walls of the (6). As a rule, cerebrospinal fluid is formed and drained back
into the venous blood at the same rate. If its drainage is blocked, a condition called (7)
occurs, which results in increased pressure on the brain.
