Ependymal cells of the choroid plexus are found in all components of the ventricle system and produce cerebrospinal fluid.

How and where is the CSF formed?
Most of the CSF is formed by the choroid plexuses in the ventricles of the brain. Some is also produced by ependymal cells.
What is neurocoel?
Cavity of the neural tube, it is the origin of the ventricles of the brain. Expansion within cerebral hemispheres (lateral ventricles 1-2), diencephalon (third ventricle), and medulla oblongata (fourth ventricle) forms chambers (ventricles) which are lined with ependymal cells.
What is the structures in the brain that produces and circulates cerebrospinal fluid?
Choroid plexus, lined with ependymal cells. The CSF circulates through the four ventricles.
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.
The second largest region of the brain is called?
the largest region of the brain if the pooluntush membrane
What form an epithelial lining for the ventricles of the brain?
The CP epithelial layer is continuous with the ependymal cell layer that lines the ventricles
What cells line the ventricles of the brain?
ependymal cells
Line the brain ventricles and spinal canal?
Ependymal cells
The ventricles of the brain are hollow chambers that serve as passageways for the circulation of what?
The ventricles contain something called the Choriod plexus. The cells of this plexus produce the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This fuid fills the ventricles and flows down into the spinal chord as well around the subarachnoid space holding the brain suspended.
Cells that form the lining of the cavities in the brain and spinal cord?
somatic cells
Cells that line the ventricles and central canal are called?
Ependyma
What is the role of the cells that line the capillaries of the brain?
The cells lining the brain's tiny blood vessels (capillaries) are specifically designed to prevent many substances from passing into brain tissue.
Specialized conductive cells of the ventricles are called fibers?
purkinje fibers
What produces cerospinal fluid?
The choroid plexus is responsible for producing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is a network of specialized ependymal cells located within the ventricles of the brain. These cells actively secrete CSF into the ventricles, which then circulates throughout the brain and spinal cord.
Are there cells in the brain?
Yes. They are called, ironically, brain cells.
