Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The subarachnoid space is the location of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as it surrounds the brain.

Answer: C 
 The choroid plexuses are structures within the ventricles of the brain that produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Answer: A 
 Arachnoid villi are small protrusions of the arachnoid mater into the dural sinuses, which allow for the absorption of CSF back into the bloodstream.

Answer: D 
 Dural sinuses are large blood-filled spaces located within the dura mater of the brain. They receive venous blood from the brain and allow for the absorption of CSF through the arachnoid villi.

Answer: E 
 The dura mater is the thick outermost layer of the meninges, which surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord.
