Scan Electron Microsc. 1979(3):335-40.
The directions of ciliary beat on the wall of the lateral ventricle of the brain have been studied in the mouse by using a scanning electron microscope. As the studies on the directions of ciliary beat on the wall of the third and fourth ventricles were previously completed, a series of studies of the whole ventricular system has now been completed. The pattern of directions of the beat in the brain ventricular system was always the same in every individual examined in the series and this pattern was not contradictory to the anticipated flow of the fluid. Above all, the cilia on the wall of the brain ventricles beat spontaneously. Considering these facts, it was concluded that the ciliary beat has a close relationship with the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid, and conversely the detailed flow of the cerebrospinal fluid within the whole ventricular system was inferred from the ciliary beat.
利用扫描电子显微镜,对小鼠脑侧脑室壁上纤毛摆动的方向进行了研究。由于此前已完成对第三和第四脑室壁上纤毛摆动方向的研究,现在已完成了对整个脑室系统的一系列研究。在该系列研究中检查的每个个体中,脑室系统内纤毛摆动方向的模式始终相同,且该模式与预期的脑脊液流动并不矛盾。最重要的是,脑室壁上的纤毛会自发摆动。考虑到这些事实,得出的结论是,纤毛摆动与脑脊液的流动密切相关,反之,可从纤毛摆动推断出整个脑室系统内脑脊液的详细流动情况。
