The pair of lateral ventricles are the largest of the four ventricles in the brain. They are located in the largest part of the brain, the cerebrum. The third ventricle is in the diencephalon, located in the center of the brain. The fourth ventricle is located in the hindbrain. Each lateral ventricle, one on each side of the brain, sits in a “C” sh...
The ventricular system produces, transports, and excretes CSF, which coats the central nervous system. Each ventricle contains choroid plexus, which makes the circulating CSF. The CSF moves from the lateral ventricles to the third ventricle and finally to the fourth ventricle, where it exits and bathes the brain and spinal cord. The CSF is then abs...
A number of developmental anomalies can impact the ventricular system. Conditions that affect the ventricular system require diagnosis by a doctor, usually a neurologist. Some ventricular system conditions are treatable.

Apr 24, 2023 · Atrioventricular Node. After the electrical impulses spread across the atria, they converge at the atrioventricular node – located within the atrioventricular septum, near the opening of the coronary sinus.

Aug 8, 2023 · Ventricular system. The ventricular system is a well organized interconnecting system spanning every region of the brain. The channels connecting the lateral ventricles to the third (the midline ventricle) are called the interventricular foramen (or foramen of Monro). The cerebral aqueduct connects the third and fourth ventricles.

Jul 18, 2019 · The atrioventricular node lies on the right side of the partition that divides the atria, near the bottom of the right atrium. When the impulses generated by the SA node reach the AV node, they are delayed for about a tenth of a second. This delay allows atria to contract, thereby emptying blood into the ventricles before ventricular contraction.
