The ventricular system is a set of four interconnected cavities in the brain, where the cerebrospinal fluid is produced. Within each ventricle is a region of choroid plexus, a network of ependymal cells involved in the production of CSF. The ventricular system is continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord allowing for the flow of CSF to circulate. All of the ventricular system and the central canal of the spinal cord are lined with ependyma, a specialised form of epithelium.
There are two lateral ventricles- one on each side of the cerebral cortex. The lateral ventricles are continuous with the third ventricle, which is lower in the brain. The third ventricle is continuous with the fourth ventricle, which runs along the brainstem. The ventricles are all an important part of the âventricular system.â The ventricles are interconnected with each other, and also with the central canal of the spinal cord and with the subarachnoid space (a space between two of the linings that separate the brain from the skull).
