ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Ependymal cells are ciliated-epithelial glial cells that develop from radial glia along the surface of the ventricles of the brain and the spinal canal. They play a critical role in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) homeostasis, brain metabolism, and the clearance of waste from the brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ependymal Cells are a type of Glial Cell lining the ventricles and central canal of the spinal cord. Their primary function is to secrete and circulate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Detailed explanation-3: -Ependymal Cilia Propelling the Circulation of Cerebrospinal Fluid. The directional flow of CSF depends directly on ependymal cilia within the ventricular system (Lee, 2013; Kumar et al., 2021). Ependymal cilia can be found on ECs all across the brain, projecting up to 20 microns from the cell (Zhang J.

Detailed explanation-4: -ependymal cell, type of neuronal support cell (neuroglia) that forms the epithelial lining of the ventricles (cavities) in the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord.
