Specialized ________ Form the Secretory Component of the Choroid Plexus

Question

Specialized ________ form the secretory component of the choroid plexus.
A) epididymal cells
B) ependymal cells
C) arachnoid cells
D) astrocyte
E) blood cells

Accepted Answer

Ependymal cells are specialized cells that line the ventricles of the brain and central canal of the spinal cord. They function in the production and regulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The choroid plexus is a specialized structure found in the ventricles of the brain where CSF is produced. Therefore, it is the ependymal cells that form the secretory component of the choroid plexus.
