Vascularization of the telencephalic choroid plexus of a ganoid fish [Acipenser ruthenus (L.)]

Vascularization of the telencephalic choroid plexus of a ganoid fish [Acipenser ruthenus (L.)] The vascularization of the telencephalic choroid plexus of the sterlet Acipenaer ruthenus, a ganoid fish, was examined by vascular corrosion casting and by light and transmission electron microscopy. The arterial supply is from the dorsal mesencephalic artery via: (1) the ventral choroidal arteries (left and right); (2) the dorsal choroidal arteries (left and right); (3) the caudal choroidal arteries (left and right; (4) the ventral arteries of the dorsal sac; and, from the olfactory arteries, via 5) the rostral choroidal arteries. The venous drainage is mainly through a single main choroidal vein that can take various courses either directly to the anterior cardinal vein or via the middle cerebral vein to the anterior cardinal vein. To a lesser extent, the plexus is drained via the lateral telencephalic veins and the ventral vein of the dorsal sac to the middle cerebral vein. By angioarchitecture and form, the plexus can be subdivided into five distinct parts: the surface network, the median folds, the large lateral folds, the small lateral folds, and the area common to the bottom of the dorsal sac and the telencephalic plexus. Diameters of terminal vessels as measured from vascular corrosion casts and from paraplast, semithin, and ultrathin sections were never less than 10 /xm. It is suggested that the different areas in one plexus may have different functions with respect to secretion and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Anatomy Wiley

Abstract

The vascularization of the telencephalic choroid plexus of the sterlet Acipenaer ruthenus, a ganoid fish, was examined by vascular corrosion casting and by light and transmission electron microscopy. The arterial supply is from the dorsal mesencephalic artery via: (1) the ventral choroidal arteries (left and right); (2) the dorsal choroidal arteries (left and right); (3) the caudal choroidal arteries (left and right; (4) the ventral arteries of the dorsal sac; and, from the olfactory arteries, via 5) the rostral choroidal arteries. The venous drainage is mainly through a single main choroidal vein that can take various courses either directly to the anterior cardinal vein or via the middle cerebral vein to the anterior cardinal vein. To a lesser extent, the plexus is drained via the lateral telencephalic veins and the ventral vein of the dorsal sac to the middle cerebral vein. By angioarchitecture and form, the plexus can be subdivided into five distinct parts: the surface network, the median folds, the large lateral folds, the small lateral folds, and the area common to the bottom of the dorsal sac and the telencephalic plexus. Diameters of terminal vessels as measured from vascular corrosion casts and from paraplast, semithin, and ultrathin sections were never less than 10 /xm. It is suggested that the different areas in one plexus may have different functions with respect to secretion and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid.
