Ependymal cells
ependymal cells
responsible for the lining of ventricular cavities (of brain). Other than the above-mentioned function, they also line the central canal of spinal cord. It is involved in the production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Cerebrospinal fluid is found in the ventricles of the brain (which are inside the cerebral cortexes and the cerebellum) as well as flowing around the meninges of the brain and spinal cord (on the outside of both structures).
The cranial cavity contains the brain, pineal and hypophysis cerebri, parts of the cranial and spinal nerves, blood vessels, meninges and cerebrospinal fluid.
A midsaggital plane will show the continuity between the spinal and cranial cavities.

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear liquid produced in the ventricles of the brain, that fills and protects cavities in the brain and spinal cord.

The central canal of the spinal cord runs down the center of spinal cord from top to bottom and allows cerebrospinal fluid to circulate. The part of the spinal cord directly around the central canal is the gray commissure. This is what connects the two halves of the spinal cord and allows signals to travel between the two sides.
Ependymal cells are cells that line the central cavities of the brain and spinal cord. They are ciliated and act as a semi-permeable lining between the cavities and normal tissue. The cavities are filled with a cerebro-spinal fluid which cushions the CNS and, due to the beating cilia of the ependymal cells, is constantly circulating.

Central Canal
Cerebrospinal fluid is found in the ventricles of the brain (which are inside the cerebral cortexes and the cerebellum) as well as flowing around the meninges of the brain and spinal cord (on the outside of both structures).
Central canal
between meninges and also in central cavity of brain & spinal cord.
"Ependymal cells"form a single layer of epithelial cells that line the CSF-filled ventricles (in the brain) and the central canal (of spinal cord). They are ciliated simple cuboidal epithelium.
The cranial cavity contains the brain, pineal and hypophysis cerebri, parts of the cranial and spinal nerves, blood vessels, meninges and cerebrospinal fluid.
