What are ciliated cns neuroglia that play an active role in moving cerebrospinal fluid called?
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.

What types of glial cells line the central cavities of the brain and spinal cord where they help to circulate the cerebrospinal fluid?
The types of glial cells that line the central cavities of the brain and spinal cord are ependymal cells. These cells have cilia on their apical surface that help circulate the cerebrospinal fluid, which nourishes the brain and spinal cord while also helping to remove waste and maintain a stable environment.
Cavity that protects brain and spinal cord?
The cranial and spinal cavities protect the brain and spinal cord.
Cavities found in the brain?
The cavities of the brain are called ventricles. These ventricles contain Cerebro Spinal Fluid to help aid in the filtration of the blood.
What are the cavities in the brain called?
The ventricles are cavities within the brain that connect with each other, with the subarachnoid space of the meninges and with the central canal of the spinal cord.
Is Cerebrospinal fluid important?
It is clear liquid that fills brain cavities and protects the brain and spinal cord
What is the function of 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).
What are the sub-cavities of the vertebral cavity?
The vertebral cavity is divided into two sub-cavities: the cranial cavity, which houses the brain, and the spinal cavity, which contains the spinal cord. These sub-cavities are surrounded and protected by the vertebral column, also known as the backbone.
Which cavity contains the spinal and cranial cavities?
The cranial cavity contains the brain, pineal and hypophysis cerebri, parts of the cranial and spinal nerves, blood vessels, meninges and cerebrospinal fluid.
Are brain cells still brain cells if they're in the spinal cord?
No, they're nerve cells.
Astrocytes line the central cavities of the brain?
no but ependymal cells does
