Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ependymal cells are responsible for producing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Overactivity of these cells can lead to overproduction of CSF, which can cause conditions such as hydrocephalus. Astrocytes, microglial cells, oligodendrocytes, and macrophages do not play a significant role in CSF production.
