Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ependymal cells are associated with the formation of the choroid plexus. They are specialized cells that line the ventricles of the brain and are responsible for producing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The choroid plexus is a network of capillaries located within the ventricles that is responsible for producing the CSF. Ependymal cells play a crucial role in this process by regulating the composition of the CSF and helping to maintain the proper balance of nutrients and electrolytes in the brain.
