________ Line the Brain Ventricles and Spinal Canal

Question

________ line the brain ventricles and spinal canal.
A) Astrocytes
B) Satellite cells
C) Oligodendrocytes
D) Microglia
E) Ependymal cells

Accepted Answer

Ependymal cells line the brain ventricles and spinal canal, providing a barrier between the cerebrospinal fluid and the nervous tissue. They also facilitate the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the ventricles. Astrocytes provide support to neurons and help regulate the chemical environment around them. Satellite cells are found in the nervous system's peripheral regions and provide support to neuronal cell bodies. Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the central nervous system. Microglia are immune cells in the central nervous system.
