    Ependymal cells are a simple cuboidal epithelial layer that lines the cavities around the central nervous system, including ventricles in the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. They contribute to the formation of cerebrospinal fluid and assist in its circulation through the brain and spinal cord using cilia. Ependymal cells also provide neural stem cells that can regenerate parts of the brain. They are distinct from astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, and schwann cells.

    Definition
    A simple cuboidal epithelial layer covering the
    brain and spinal cavities inside the cerebral
    spinal fluid chamber.

    Characteristic
    -Line the cavities around the CNS
    -Contribute to the formation of cerebrospinal
    fluid (CSF)
    -Cilia Assist in circulation of CSF
    -Provide Neeural Stem Cells for brain
    regeneration

    Example
    -vertricles in the brain and the central cannal of
    the spinal cord

    Non-example
    -Astrocytes
    -Microglial
    -Oligodendrocytes
    -schwann cells
