Detailed explanation-1: -Ependymal cells: Ependymal cells line the spinal cord and ventricles of the brain. They are involved in creating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Detailed explanation-2: -The highly specialized ependymal cells of the choroid plexus produce CSF by appropriate machineries for ionic transport and the secretion of different molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -A cell that forms the lining of the fluid-filled spaces in the brain and spinal cord. It is a type of glial cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -CSF is produced mainly by the choroid plexus epithelium and ependymal cells of the ventricles and flows into interconnecting chambers; namely, the cisterns and the subarachnoid spaces.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
