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. Ependymal cells also give rise to the epithelial layer that surrounds the choroid plexus, a network of blood vessels located.

26 kwi 2021 · Ependymal cells line the ventricles of the brain and the central column of the spinal cord. Together they form a thin membrane called the ependyma, which is made of a single layer of ependymal cells and has several functions in supporting healthy neurological function.
30 paź 2023 · Ependymal cells are found lining the central canal of the spinal cord and ventricles of the brain. The choroid plexus is formed by vascularized invaginations of this neuroepithelium and is lined luminally by the ependymal cells, also known as the ependyma.
The ependyma is made up of ependymal cells called ependymocytes, a type of glial cell. These cells line the ventricles in the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord, which become filled with cerebrospinal fluid .
4 kwi 2023 · Ependymal cells are indispensable components of the central nervous system (CNS). They originate from neuroepithelial cells of the neural plate and show heterogeneity, with at least three types that are localized in different locations of the CNS.
9 paź 2024 · Ependymal cells are arranged along the inner surfaces of the ventricles and the central canal of the spinal cord, providing anatomical, physiological and immunological barriers that maintain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) homeostasis.
Ependymal cells in the choroid plexus have a cuboidal shape with cilia and microvilli on their apical side facing the ventricular cavity. As part of the choroid plexus, ependyma contributes to the production of cerebrospinal fluid.
