Solution

The function that is NOT one of the functions of the ventricular system is "e. Oxygenates the blood". The ventricular system is involved in producing and circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), providing nutrients and chemical messengers to the brain, and making the brain buoyant and lighter. However, it does not play a role in the oxygenation of the blood. This is primarily the function of the respiratory system, specifically the lungs.
