What else can I help you with?
Cells that line the ventricles and central canal are called?
Ependyma
What is the central canal of the spinal cord is analogous to what part of the brain?
Ventricles
Ciliated CNS neuroglia that play an active role in moving the cerebrospinal fluid?
Ependymal cells are ciliated neuroglia that line the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. They play a crucial role in helping to circulate cerebrospinal fluid throughout the central nervous system.
Which type of neuroglial cells help to produce and circulate cerebrospinal fluid?
Ependymal cells are neuroglial cells that help produce and circulate cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and spinal cord. They line the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord, playing a crucial role in maintaining the fluid balance in the central nervous system.
Part of the central nervous system extending from the brainstem through the vertebral canal?
The brain stem. The vertebral canal is called the foramen magnum.
The lumen of the neural tube develops into the?
Ventricles & central canal of spinal cord
What in the gray commissure of the spinal cord contains csf and is continuous with the ventricles of the brain?
the central canal
Ciliated CNS nuroglia tht play an active role in moving CSF are?
Ependymal cells are arranged in single-palisade arrays and line the ventricles of the brain and central canal of the spinal cord. They are usually ciliated, their cilia extending into the ventricular cavity.
Is nervous tissue housed in the neural canal of the thoracic vertebra?
No, nervous tissue is not housed in the neural canal of the thoracic vertebra. The neural canal, or vertebral canal, contains the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system, as well as spinal nerves and their surrounding protective membranes. Nervous tissue itself is found in the spinal cord and peripheral nerves but is not located within the vertebral canal itself. Instead, the canal serves as a protective passage for these structures.
Central canal is patent?
The central canal of the spinal cord or bone is open and unobstructed, allowing for the passage of cerebrospinal fluid or blood vessels. This ensures proper communication and transport of essential substances in the central nervous system.
Which of the body cavities contain the central nervous system?
The central nervous system is contained within the dorsal body cavity, specifically within the cranial cavity (which houses the brain) and the vertebral canal (which houses the spinal cord).
Do Ependymal cells line the inner cavities of the CNS?
Yes, ependymal cells line the inner cavities of the central nervous system (CNS). They are cuboidal to columnar cells that form the ependymal layer of the ventricles in the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. These cells are involved in producing cerebrospinal fluid and providing a barrier between the fluid compartments of the CNS.
