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 · 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.
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.
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.
28 cze 2021 · Ependymal cells are one of four types of glial cells found in the central nervous system (CNS). Their main function is to secrete, circulate, and maintain the homeostasis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that fills the ventricles of the CNS [1].
19 mar 2014 · Mature ependymal cells are polygonal cells, cuboidal to the columnar depending on the ventricle location, which display polarized structural and functional organizations. At the basal pole, ependymal cells present basal lamina labyrinths that are remnants of basal lamina from embryonic capillaries.
Ependyma is a type of connective tissue cell (or neuroglia) in the central nervous system that forms an epithelial lining in the ventricular system. These cells, also called ependymocytes, create a barrier between blood and cerebrospinal fluid by being closely connected to each other through tight junctions.
