How Do You Spell VENA CEREBRI INTERNA?

1. Vena cerebri interna, also known as the internal cerebral vein, is a major vein located within the brain that plays a crucial role in the drainage of blood from various deep structures of the brain. It is part of the venous system responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

   The vena cerebri interna is formed by the combination of several smaller veins that collect blood from different regions of the brain. These include the thalamostriate vein, choroidal veins, and septal veins, among others. It typically runs deep within the cerebral hemispheres and is situated close to the midline of the brain.

   This vein mainly drains blood from deep structures such as the thalamus, internal capsule, basal ganglia, and choroid plexus of both lateral ventricles. It then joins the basal vein of Rosenthal to form the vein of Galen, which ultimately continues to drain into the straight sinus, one of the dural venous sinuses.

   The vena cerebri interna is crucial for maintaining proper blood circulation within the brain, as it aids in removing waste products and allows for the return of deoxygenated blood to the heart. Any abnormalities or disruptions in the functioning of this vein can potentially lead to various neurovascular disorders, including venous infarctions, thrombosis, or hemorrhages, which may result in serious neurological consequences.

2. V. Galeni, one of two veins running in the tela chorioidea of the third ventricle, formed by the union of the chorioid and terminal veins, and emptying into the v. cerebri magna.
