The arachnoid is separated from the pia by the subarachnoid (leptomeningeal) space, which
contains cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
This fluid-filled space helps maintain the balance of extracellular fluid in the brain. CSF is a clear
liquid similar to blood in constitution; it provides nutrients but has less protein and a different ion
concentration.
CSF is formed by the choroid plexuses of the four ventricles of the brain This fluid leaves
the ventricular system and enters the subarachnoid space between the arachnoid and pia mater, where it
cushions and nourishes the brain.
BRAIN
• The brain (contained by the neurocranium) is composed of the cerebrum,
cerebellum, and brainstem .
• When the calvaria and dura are removed, gyri (folds), sulci (grooves), and fissures
(clefts) of the cerebral cortex are visible through the delicate arachnoid–pia layer
• The cerebrum (L. brain) includes the cerebral hemispheres and basal ganglia.
• The cerebral hemispheres, separated by the falx cerebri within the longitudinal
cerebral fissure, are the dominant features of the brain .
• Each cerebral hemisphere is divided four lobes, each of which is related to, but
the boundaries of which do not correspond to, the overlying bones of the same
name.
• From a superior view, the cerebrum is essentially divided into quarters by the
median longitudinal cerebral fissure and the coronal central sulcus.
• The central sulcus separates the frontal lobes (anteriorly) from
the parietal lobes (posteriorly).
• The frontal lobes occupy the anterior cranial fossae, the temporal
lobes occupy the lateral parts of the middle cranial fossae, and the
occipital lobes extend posteriorly over the tentorium cerebell
Ventricular System of Brain
• The ventricular system of the brain consists two lateral ventricles and the midline 3rd and 4th
ventricles connected by the cerebral aqueduct.
• CSF, largely secreted by the choroid plexuses of the ventricles, fills these brain cavities and the
subarachnoid space of the brain and spinal cord.
VENTRICLES OF BRAIN
• The lateral ventricles the 1st and 2nd ventricles, are the largest cavities of the ventricular system and
occupy large areas of the cerebral hemispheres.
• Each lateral ventricle opens through an interventricular foramen into the 3rd ventricle.
• The 3rd ventricle, a slit-like cavity between the right and the left halves of the diencephalon, is continuous
postero-inferiorly with the cerebral aqueduct, a narrow channel in the midbrain connecting the 3rd and
4th ventricles
• The pyramid-shaped 4th ventricle in the posterior part of the pons and medulla extends inferoposteriorly.
• Inferiorly, it tapers to a narrow channel that continues into the cervical region of the spinal cord as the
central canal.
• CSF drains into the subarachnoid space from the 4th ventricle through a single median aperture and paired
lateral apertures. These apertures are the only means by which CSF enters the subarachnoid space. If
they are blocked, CSF accumulates and the ventricles distend, producing compression of the substance of
the cerebral hemispheres.
SUBARACHNOID CISTERNS
• SUBARACHNOID CISTERNS
At certain areas on the base of the brain, the arachnoid and pia are widely separated by subarachnoid cisterns
which contain CSF, and soft tissue structures that “anchor” the brain, such as the arachnoid
trabeculae, vasculature, and in some cases, cranial nerve roots.
The cisterns are usually named according to the structures related to them.
Major intracranial subarachnoid cisterns include the:
• Cerebellomedullary cistern: the largest of the subarachnoid cisterns, located between the cerebellum and
the medulla; receives CSF from the apertures of the 4th ventricle. It is divided into the posterior
cerebellomedullary cistern (cisterna magna) and the lateral cerebellomedullary cistern.
•
Pontocerebellar cistern (pontine cistern): an extensive space ventral to the pons, continuous inferiorly
with the spinal subarachnoid space.
• Interpeduncular cistern (basal cistern): located in the interpeduncular fossa between the cerebral
peduncles of the midbrain.
•
Chiasmatic cistern (cistern of optic chiasma): inferior and anterior to the optic chiasm, the point of
crossing or decussation of optic nerve fibers.
• Quadrigeminal cistern (cistern of great cerebral vein): located between the posterior part of the corpus
callosum and the superior surface of the cerebellum; contains parts of the great cerebral vein.
• Cisterna ambiens (ambient cistern): located on the lateral aspect of the midbrain and continuous
posteriorly with the quadrigeminal cistern (not illustrated).
SECRETION OF CEREBROSPINAL
FLUID
• Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is secreted (at the rate of 400–500
mL/day) mainly by choroidal epithelial cells (modified
ependymal cells) of the choroid plexuses in the lateral, 3rd,
and 4th ventricles (Figs. 7.36C, 7.37, and 7.38).
• They are invaginated into the roofs of the 3rd and 4th
ventricles and on the floors of the bodies and inferior horns of
the lateral ventricles.
CIRCULATION OF CEREBROSPINAL
FLUID
• CSF leaves the lateral ventricles through the interventricular foramina and enters
the 3rd ventricle (Fig. 7.37A)CSF passes through the cerebral aqueduct into the
4th ventricle. Some CSF leaves this ventricle through its median and lateral
apertures and enters the subarachnoid space, which is continuous around the spinal
cord and posterosuperiorly over the cerebellum.
• However, most CSF flows into the interpeduncular and quadrigeminal cisterns.
• CSF from the various subarachnoid cisterns flows superiorly through the sulci and
fissures on the medial and superolateral surfaces of the cerebral hemispheres.
• CSF also passes into the extensions of the subarachnoid space around the cranial
nerves, the most important of which are the subarachnoid space extensions
surrounding the optic nerves (CN II).
ABSORPTION OF CEREBROSPINAL FLUID
• The main site of CSF absorption into the venous system is through the
arachnoid granulations (Figs. 7.35 and 7.37A), especially those that
protrude into the superior sagittal sinus and its lateral lacunae (Fig.
7.28D).
• The subarachnoid space containing CSF extends into the cores of the
arachnoid granulations.
(1) most CSF enters the venous system by transport through the cells of the
arachnoid granulations into the dural venous sinuses
(2) some CSF moves between the cells making up the arachnoid granulations
Arterial Blood Supply to Brain
• The blood supply to the brain is
derived from the internal
carotid and vertebral arteries
,the terminal branches of which
lie in the subarachnoid space.
• The two vertebral arteries are usually unequal in size, the left being larger than the
right.
▫ The atlantic parts of the vertebral arteries (parts related to the atlas, vertebra C1)
perforate the dura and arachnoid and pass through the foramen magnum.
▫ The intracranial parts of the vertebral arteries unite at the caudal border of the pons to
form the basilar artery.
▫ The vertebrobasilar arterial system and its branches are often referred to clinically as the
posterior circulation of the brain.
• The basilar artery, so-named because of its close relationship to the cranial base,
ascends the clivus, the sloping surface from the dorsum sellae to the foramen
magnum, through the pontocerebellar cistern to the superior border of the pons. It ends
by dividing into the two posterior cerebral arteries.
