Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The fourth ventricle is the most inferiorly located ventricle, draining directly into the central canal of the spinal cord. Superiorly, it connects to the third ventricle through a thin canal called the cerebral aqueduct of Sylvius.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is located in the midbrain dorsal to the pons and ventral to the cerebellum. The cerebral aqueduct is surrounded by an enclosing area of gray matter called the periaqueductal gray, or central gray. It was first named after Franciscus Sylvius.
Detailed explanation-3: -The cerebral aqueduct is a narrow channel, 1 to 3 mm in diameter, that connects the third ventricle (the cavity of the diencephalon) with the fourth ventricle (the rhombencephalic cavity).
