What is the aqueduct of sylvius?

Answer 1

The aqueduct of sylvius:

1. The central canal and spinal cord lumen are connected to the brain vesicles.
2. The chamber of the rhombencephalon forms the fourth ventricle, whereas the diencephalon forms the third ventricle.
3. The cerebral hemispheres constitute the lateral ventricles.
4. The mesencephalon's lumen connects the fourth and third ventricles, which become restricted.
5. The aqueduct of Sylvius is thus named after him.
6. The interventricular foramina of Monro connect each of the lateral ventricles to the third ventricle.
