Cerebral Aqueduct
A canal within the brain through which cerebrospinal fluid flows, connecting the third and fourth ventricles.
Lateral Ventricle
One of the two ventricles located in the cerebral hemispheres, part of the brain's ventricular system where cerebrospinal fluid is produced and circulates.
Fourth Ventricle
A chamber of the brain located within the brainstem, responsible for circulating cerebrospinal fluid between the brain's interior and spinal canal.
