Explanation:
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 simple cuboidal cells that line the ventricles in the brain and the central canal in the spinal cord.
Detailed explanation-3: -The epithelial cells of the choroid plexus secrete cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), by a process that involves the movement of Na(+), Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) from the blood to the ventricles of the brain.
