Line the central cavities of the brain and spinal column, may be ciliated
A
Astrocytes
B
Ependymal
C
Oligodendrocytes
D
Schwann cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ependymal cells are ciliated glial cells that form an epithelial barrier, called the ependyma, lining the brain’s ventricular system and the spinal cord’s central canal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ependymal cilia, which are found in the ventricular system of the brain (Ringers et al., 2020), serve an important role in maintaining appropriate CSF flow (Chiani et al., 2019). Ependymal cilia ensure CSF flow and are necessary for CSF homeostasis and directional migration of neural cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -These cavities are lined by a special type of epithelial tissue called the ependymal cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -An ependymal cell is a type of glial cell that forms the ependyma, a thin membrane that lines the ventricles of the brain and the central column of the spinal cord. Their main function is to secrete, circulate, and maintain homeostasis of the cerebrospinal fluid that fills the ventricles of the central nervous system.
