Ependymal Cell

Epithelial cells lining the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord, involved in the production and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Key Functions:

• Lines the ventricles and central canal of the CNS.
• Involved in the production and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid.
• Forms a barrier between blood and CSF (choroid plexus).

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Epithelial Cell (type of)
• Cerebrospinal Fluid (produces and circulates)
• Brain Ventricles (lines)
• Spinal Cord Central Canal (lines)
• Nervous System (component of)
