Where Are Ventricles Found?

Your brain's ventricular system is comprised of four ventricles as well as small structures that connect each ventricle called foramina. The first and second ventricles are lateral ventricles

Each lateral ventricle resembles a C-shaped cavity that begins at an inferior horn in the temporal lobe, travels through a body in the parietal lobe and frontal lobe, and ultimately terminates at the interventricular foramina where each lateral ventricle connects to the single, central third ventricle.

. These C-shaped structures are located on each side of your cerebral cortex, the wrinkly outer layer of your brain.

Where are the ventricles located?

Overview. The ventricles of the brain are a communicating network of cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and located within the brain parenchyma. The ventricular system is composed of 2 lateral ventricles, the third ventricle, the cerebral aqueduct, and the fourth ventricle (see the images below).

What are ventricles?

The ventricles are structures that produce cerebrospinal fluid, and transport it around the cranial cavity. They are lined by ependymal cells, which form a structure called the choroid plexus. It is within the choroid plexus that CSF is produced.
