    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system

    The four cavities of the human brain are called ventricles. [6] The two largest are the lateral ventricles in the cerebrum, the third ventricle is in the diencephalon of the forebrain between the right and left thalamus, and the fourth ventricle is located at the back of the pons and upper half of the medulla oblongata of the

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_natriuretic_peptide_32

    Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), also known as B-type natriuretic peptide, is a hormone secreted by cardiomyocytes in the heart ventricles in response to stretching caused by increased ventricular blood volume. [5] BNP is one of the three natriuretic peptides, in addition to atrial natriuretic peptide and C-type natriuretic peptide ( CNP). [6]

    Stroke volume will normally be in the range of 70–80 mL. Since ventricular systole began with an EDV of approximately 130 mL of blood, this means that there is still 50–60 mL of blood remaining in the ventricle following contraction. This volume of blood is known as the end systolic volume (ESV). [1]

    [2] [3] It overlies the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus, [4] and is involved in the secretion of vasopressin. [2] The VOLT monitors the presence of peptides and macromolecules in the bloodstream, and conveys the information to the hypothalamus. [3] It is one of the three sensory circumventricular organs of the brain. [5] The other four ...

    [1] [2] The choroid plexus produces most of the cerebrospinal fluid of the central nervous system that circulates through the ventricles of the brain, the central canal of the spinal cord, and the subarachnoid space. [4] [2] The tela choroidea in the ventricles forms from different parts of the roof plate in the development of the embryo. [2] [1]

  7. Cerebral blood volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_blood_volume

    Both cerebral blood volume and cerebral blood flow depend on several important parameters, including cerebrovascular resistance, intracranial pressure, and mean arterial pressure. [1] The ratio between cerebral blood flow and cerebral blood volume can be an accurate predictor of decreased cerebral perfusion pressure, thereby predicting cerebral ...
