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 …

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.

Oct 30, 2023 · Ependymal cells are mostly known as a specialized type of epithelial tissue. They are indispensable components of the central nervous system (CNS) and originate from …

Apr 29, 2025 · Ependymal cells, a specialized type of glial cell in the central nervous system, are essential for maintaining brain health and function. These cells line the ventricles of the brain …

Ependymal cells are ciliated-epithelial glial cells that develop from radial glia along the surface of the ventricles of the brain and the spinal canal. They play a critical role in cerebrospinal fluid …

Ependymal cells form a continuous epithelial sheet (the ependyma) that lines the ventricles and the central canal of the spinal cord. These cells are of glial lineage, but have many epithelial …

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 …

Mar 22, 2025 · Ependymal cells are specialized glial cells that line the ventricular system of the brain and central canal of the spinal cord. These ciliated epithelial cells form a crucial interface …

Apr 26, 2021 · Ependymal cells are one of the four types of glial cells found in the central nervous system (CNS). Collectively, they form the ependyma which is a thin membrane that lines the …

These glial cells are called ependymal cells, and they help to both make and distribute the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that cushions and protects the brain and spinal cord.
