- Ventricular System
- Four irregular fluid filled cavities that communicate with one another
- Two upper cavities (left and right lateral ventricles)
- Situated one on each side of the midsagittal plane
- Third ventricle
- Situated in the midsagittal plane
- Fourth ventricle

- Two upper cavities (left and right lateral ventricles)
- Four irregular fluid filled cavities that communicate with one another
- Forebrain
Spinal Cord
- Grey substance
- White substance
- Spinal nerves arise from two roots at the side of spinal canal
