brain ventricle in dogs

One of the system of communicating cavities in the brain that are continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord, that like it are derived from the medullary canal of the embryo, that are lined with an epithelial ependyma, and that contain a serous fluid. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the brain ventricle is

One of the system of communicating cavities in the brain that are continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord, that like it are derived from the medullary canal of the embryo, that are lined with an epithelial ependyma, and that contain a serous fluid. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the brain ventricle is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the brain ventricle connects to

The atlas records 13 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of brain, nervous system and organ, and 1 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the brain ventricle. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as brain ventricles, cerebral ventricle and region of ventricular system of brain. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the brain ventricle?

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the brain ventricle connect to?

Part of: brain, nervous system, organ and ventricular system of central nervous system.

Is the brain ventricle the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
