C LFTs'? A Freaking Forimina (Lushka and Magendie) Say Back Away!
Weird, yes. Memorable? Most definitely.
What else can I help you with?
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 parts of the body does cerebrospinal fluid circulate?
Cerebrospinal fluid circulates around the brain and spinal cord within the subarachnoid space. It helps protect the central nervous system by providing cushioning and removing waste products from the brain.
Where is the cerebrospinal fluid produce?
Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by modified epithelial cells in the thin membrane that lines the ventricular system of the brain and the spinal cord. These modified epithelial cells are named the ependyma. Each of the cerebral ventricles has an associated choroid plexus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system) which produce and secrete cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebral ventricles are interconnected spaces within the brain that permit the fluid to circulate in a specific manner. (see http:/www.answers.com/topic/cerebrospinal-fluid?cat=health for an excellent diagram).
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.
Does the cerebrospinal fluid normally circulate in the ascending tracts?
No, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) does not circulate in the ascending tracts of the central nervous system. Instead, CSF flows within the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning and support. The ascending tracts, which transmit sensory information to the brain, are found within the white matter of the spinal cord and do not contain CSF.
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.
Cerebrospinal fluid leak ICD-9 code?
If the cerebrospinal fluid is leaking from the nose/mouth it is called Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and that code is 349.81. If the fluid is leaking from the ears, it is called Cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea and that code is 388.61. Brenda M. St. Louis, MO
Does the central canal contain cerebrospinal fluid?
yes the canal does contain cerebrospinal fluid....
IS the cerebrospinal fluid secreted by arachnoid villi?
No, cerebrospinal fluid is produced by the choroid plexus in the brain's ventricles. Arachnoid villi function to reabsorb and return cerebrospinal fluid back into the bloodstream.
Is an ependymal cell ciliated?
"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.
Does cerebrospinal fluid contain blood?
Ideally, cerebrospinal fluid should not contain blood. The presence of blood in cerebrospinal fluid can indicate a potential injury or bleeding within the brain or spinal cord. It is important to investigate the cause of the blood in the cerebrospinal fluid to determine the appropriate treatment.
Do the skull meninges and cerebrospinal fluid protect the brain?
The skull, meninges, and cerebrospinal fluid protect the brain.
