The 2 interventricular foramens (or foramina of Monro) connect the lateral ventricles with the third ventricle. The body of the lateral ventricle is connected with the occipital and temporal horns by a wide area named the atrium. The anterior or frontal<span> horn is located anterior to the interventricular foramen</span>
Each lateral ventricle resembles a C-shaped structure that begins at an inferior horn in the temporal lobe, travels through a body in the parietal lobe and frontal lobe, and ultimately terminates at the interventricular foramina where each lateral ventricle connects to the central third ventricle.
Different diseases are caused by different types of micro-organisms. Microbes that cause disease are called pathogens. It is important to remember that: A pathogen is a micro-organism that has the potential to cause disease.
