Ependyma is a type of glial cell that lines the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. It produces cerebrospinal fluid and may have a role in neuroregeneration, but also forms ependymoma tumors.
26 kwi 2021 · Ependymal cells are glial cells that produce, circulate, and absorb cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the central nervous system. Learn about their role, location, and features in this comprehensive guide.
Ependymal cells are neuronal support cells that line the ventricles and central canal of the brain and spinal cord. They produce and regulate cerebrospinal fluid, transport hormones and substances, and have cilia or long processes.
30 paź 2023 · Ependymal cells are a type of epithelial tissue that line the central canal of the spinal cord and ventricles of the brain. They produce cerebrospinal fluid, regulate molecule passage and form the blood–CSF barrier.
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 are a type of cell in the brain that originate from the ventricular zone and have the potential to become different types of brain cells, such as astrocytes and neurons. They are relatively inactive but can respond to injury by dividing and proliferating.
