Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of cells produce Cerebrospinal Fluid?
A
Ependymal Cells
B
Astrocytes
C
Glial Cells
D
Microglial cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The epithelial cells of the choroid plexuses secrete cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), by a process which involves the transport of Na+, Cl-and HCO3-from the blood to the ventricles of the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
