MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

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: -Primarily, glial cells provide support and protection to the neurons (nerve cells), maintain homeostasis, cleaning up debris, and forming myelin. They essentially work to care for the neurons and the environment they are in.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ependymal cells line fluid-filled ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. They are involved in the production of cerebrospinal fluid, which serves as a cushion for the brain, moves the fluid between the spinal cord and the brain, and is a component for the choroid plexus.

Detailed explanation-4: -The highly specialized ependymal cells of the choroid plexus produce CSF by appropriate machineries for ionic transport and the secretion of different molecules. A source of extrachoroidal CSF exists that ranges between 30% and 60% of the total CSF.
