Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Choroid plexuses are found in the ventricles of the brain and are responsible for the production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Answer: A
 Arachnoid villi are tiny projections that allow for the reabsorption of CSF into the venous circulation.

Answer: B
 The subarachnoid space is between the arachnoid mater and pia mater and is where CSF circulates.

Answer: D
 Dural sinuses are spaces between the layers of the dura mater that drain venous blood from the brain.

Answer: E
 The dura mater is the thickest and most outer layer of the meninges that covers the brain and spinal cord. It does not play a direct role in CSF production or circulation.
