The Lateral Ventricles are segments of a larger system of interconnected hollow spaces in the brain filled with cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and called the ventricular system. The lateral ventricles are the largest of CSF reservoirs, and are found deep within the telencephalon or cerebral hemispheres. The lateral ventricles run backward through the frontal, parietal, and the occipital lobes, arching forward into the temporal lobes at the rear of the brain. The cerebral spinal fluid, both within the ventricular system and surrounding the complete central nervous system, helps to reduce the adverse effects of shock due to sudden head movements.
