Talk:Ventricular system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Removed a few factual inaccuracies, such as "Currently, it is thought that most of the CSF leaves the ventricular system via a path along the olfactory tracts and leaves the cranium through the cribriform plate." Note: the olfactory tracts are part of the olfactory system. They do not communicate with the ventricular system and have absolutely no role in CSF-passage. CSF is reabsorbed into the venous system (superior sagittal sinus) via arachonoid granulations - this fact is supported by hundreds of references. The removed sentence resembles rather a description of the olfactory pathway, with the olfactory nerve fibers entering the skull through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone.

Added a few more anatomic details, a reference, and links to two localized versions of Wikipedia. DrFlo1 | Talk 19:36 (EDT), May 26, 2005

This is a mess all right. I started trying to clean it up, but now I'm thinking I should just rewrite it from scratch. dsws 05:06, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

The "more information" section at the bottom is very poor style. I don't want to risk screwing something up as I know nothing about neuro. --aciel 19:35, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

User:Wee Jimmy cleaned this article up pretty substantially in December [1]. I've made some factual corrections just now and have removed the cleanup tag. --David Iberri (talk) 19:14, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] removed/reorganized listing of cerebral aqeduct as 'ventricle'.

Objected to cerebral aqueduct being listed as 'ventricle'. Thought compromise was to list ventricles, than interconnecting channels, although technically interventricular foramina are part of lateral ventricles [per Terminologia Anatomica]. Corrected/added with links major locations (cerebrum, diencephalon, midbrain, hindbrain) of parts of ventricular system to give sense of its interconnectivity within the brain (and spinal cord), as well as classification of individual parts of ventricular system as also parts of these (e.g., lateral ventricles including interventricular foramina as part of cerebrum, 3rd ventricle as part of hypothalamus of diencephalon, cerebral aqueduct as part of midbrain/mesencephalon, 4th ventricle as part of pons of hindbrain -all according to TA), without being (too) definitive about it.Jauntymcd 20:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
