The ependymal cells.
Gray matter in the brain and spinal cord can be defined as billions of neuroglial nerve cell bodies and unmyelinated axons. It is responsible for processing information, including sensory perception, decision-making, and motor control.
Schwann cells (PNS)
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.
The lateral ventricles are located in the center of the brain, one in each hemisphere. They are the largest ventricles and are responsible for producing and circulating cerebrospinal fluid throughout the brain and spinal cord.

The spinal cord.
When the spinal canal fails to close completely around the spinal cord, spina bifida occurs. Spina bifida is a congenital birth defect.
The dura mater is the outermost membrane of the brain and spinal cord. The dura mater is is responsible for keeping in the cerebrospinal fluid.
The structures in the brain responsible for producing and circulating cerebrospinal fluid are the choroid plexus, located within the ventricles of the brain. Cerebrospinal fluid is produced in the choroid plexus and then circulates around the brain and spinal cord, providing essential nutrients and protection for the central nervous system.
Sensory neurons are responsible for sending information to the spinal cord. These neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors in the body to the spinal cord, which then relays the information to the brain for processing.
