"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.
The fluid in the brain is called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is a clear, colorless liquid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning, nutrients, and waste removal for these structures.
The part of the diencephalon that forms cerebrospinal fluid is called the choroid plexus. It is responsible for producing the majority of the cerebrospinal fluid found within the central nervous system.
Cavities that are filled with blood and help drain cerebrospinal fluid in the brain are called the arachnoid granulations. These structures play a key role in maintaining the balance of cerebrospinal fluid in the central nervous system.
The interconnected spaces that produce and serve as a reservoir for cerebrospinal fluid in the brain are called ventricles. There are four ventricles in the brain - two lateral ventricles, a third ventricle, and a fourth ventricle. These ventricles are responsible for the production, circulation, and drainage of 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.
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

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.
Cerebrospinal fluid drains into the bloodstream through a network of vessels called the arachnoid granulations, located in the brain's meninges.
