Describe the role of the choroid plexus in the blood-brain barrier?

The choroid plexus is in contact with the cells lining the ventricles, which helps in the formation of cerebrospinal fluid.
The capillaries of the choroid plexus differ significantly from those found elsewhere in the body. As a result, drugs carried in the bloodstream may not effectively penetrate brain tissue. This phenomenon is referred to as the blood-brain barrier.
In short, the choroid plexus helps create the barrier, as it is through it's capillaries that the barrier is formed.

What is the damage to the choroid plexus would interfere with?
Damage to choroid plexus would interfere with the production of CSF (cerebrospinal fluid).
Csf is produced in the choroid plexus of the 4th ventricle?
Yes. There is a little bit of choroid plexus that is found in the area near the bottom half of the cerebellum.
Where is cerebrospinal fluid made?
Well, the theory right now is the majority of CFS is produced within the ventricles the choroid plexus produces by a combined process of diffusion, pinocytosis and active transfer of arterial blood and the rest is produced by modified ependymal cells of the choroid plexus.
What are the functions of a choroid plexus?
Choroid plexus is the tissue in the brain responsible for making cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). There are several areas of the brain that contain choroid plexus; all of these areas belong to a part of the brain called the ventricular system, which is where the CSF flows. The only part of the ventricular system that does not contain choroid plexus is the cerebral aqueduct, which connects the third ventricle to the fourth ventricle. Cells that make up the choroid plexus are specialized cells that line the ventricular system. In all other parts of the ventricles, these lining cells are called ependymal cells. These cells in the choroid plexus are highly specialized for making CSF by filtering the blood. To accomplish the task of generating sufficient CSF, choroid plexus tissue receives a large blood supply relative to its size.

What is Choroid plexus of third ventricle and its function?
The Choroid Plexus has a main function of filtering, removing waste, and foreign substances. It is also responsible for removing excess neurotransmitters.
Is the choroid plexus part of the brain anatomy?
Yes it is. It is located along the third and fourth ventricle of the brain. The choroid plexus creates the cerebrospinal fluid for the brain and spinal cord.
What specialized cells from the secretory component of the choroid plexus?
ependymal
Choroid plexus papilloma and its prevention?
