Choroid Plexus (Noun)
Meaning
A vascular plexus of the cerebral ventricles that regulate intraventricular pressure.
Classification
Nouns denoting body parts.
Examples
- The choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid in the brain's ventricles, which helps to regulate intraventricular pressure.
- Choroid plexus tumors are rare and often occur in the lateral ventricles of the brain, affecting cerebrospinal fluid production.
- Studies have shown that the choroid plexus plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of cerebrospinal fluid and regulating intraventricular pressure.
- The choroid plexus is located in the roof of the third and fourth ventricles and is responsible for producing cerebrospinal fluid.
- Damage to the choroid plexus can disrupt the regulation of intraventricular pressure, leading to hydrocephalus and other neurological disorders.
