3 Ventricles: are interconnected cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid Located within the cerebral hemispheres and brainstem
4 Lateral ventricles- 2 large ventricles in the right and left cerebral hemispheres Third ventricle- midline of the brain Fourth ventricle- in the brainstem Cerebral aqueduct- lead to subarachnoid space in the meninges
5 Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): Clear liquid secreted by choroid plexus Circulates in ventricles, central canal of spinal cord, and subarachnoid space Completely surrounds brain and spinal cord Provides nutrition sodium, glucose, potassium Provides a pathway to blood for waste Maintain homeostasis stable ion concentrations in CNS Protects the brain and spinal cord by absorbing forces that might otherwise jar and damage their delicate tissues
6 Humans secrete nearly 500 milliliters of cerebrospinal fluid daily: However only about 140 milliliters are in the CNS at any time because it is continuously reabsorbed into the blood CSF is reabsorbed through the arachnoid granulations

9 Spinal tap: Measures CSF pressure A needle is inserted into the subarachnoid space in the lumbar vertebrae Samples of CSF maybe withdrawn and tested for abnormal results A temporary drain, called a shunt, may be inserted to relieve pressure

Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injury (TBI): occurs when a sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. Head suddenly and violently hits an object An object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue Symptoms: can be mild, moderate, or severe depending on damage. A person with a mild TBI may remain conscious or may experience a loss of consciousness for a few seconds or minutes
TBI: Video 3m55s (full video 14m28s)
Mild TBI: Concussion Concussion: brain injury most often caused by a sudden direct blow or bump to the head. Latin: “To shake violently”

1. Clinical Application 11.1 CSF Pressure Read/ answer and highlight 2. Traumatic Brain Injury Reading Read/ answer and highlight Classwork /Homework
Clinical Application What are three things that can increase CSF pressure within the ventricles? An infection A tumor A blood clot 2. Summarize the steps (4) of how a spinal tap is performed. A doctor inserts a hollow needle into the subarachnoid space A manometer measures the pressure of the CSF fluid CSF tested for abnormal constituents (ex: red blood cells can indicate a hemorrhage in the CNS) A temporary drains is inserted to relieve pressure 3. What is the purpose of a shunt? Drains fluid away from the cranial cavity and into the digestive tract where it can be reabsorbed into the blood 4. Why would an infant need a shunt? The cranial sutures have not yet united- increasing pressure (ICP) may enlarge cranium -“Water on the brain”
