Final answer:

The CSF in the 4th ventricle can enter the subarachnoid space via the lateral foramina of Luschka.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is true.



The CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) in the 4th ventricle can indeed enter the subarachnoid space via the lateral foramina of Luschka. These lateral apertures connect the ventricles to the subarachnoid space, allowing the CSF to flow through the ventricular system and around the outside of the CNS.
