There are four ventricles in the brain that house cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): two lateral ventricles, a third ventricle and a fourth ventricle. Watch the full length video to learn everything about the ventricles of the brain: https://khub.me/kn5qy

A ventricle is a hollow area or cavity within an organ usually filled with some kind of fluid. Our brain has four interconnected ventricles and the fluid that fills them is called cerebrospinal fluid. Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear fluid that has several important functions in our central nervous system and you might be wondering where this fluid comes from. Well, almost every part of the ventricular system that we're going to see in the full version of this tutorial contains a choroid plexus which includes epithelial cells that produce the cerebrospinal fluid. So as I just mentioned there are four ventricles within the brain – two lateral ventricles (the left and right lateral ventricles), the third ventricle found near the central of the brain, and the fourth ventricle located deep to the cerebellum.

There is a lateral ventricle in each hemisphere of the brain and therefore there's a left lateral ventricle and a right lateral ventricle, each found in the respective side of the brain. Here we can see the right lateral ventricle hiding behind the left lateral ventricle as we're viewing these structures from the left hand side.

On the full version of this tutorial, we will look at the following topics:
- anatomy and function of the ventricles of the brain;
- clinical notes related to the ventricles of the brain: hydrocephalus.
