Ependymocyte

Ependymocytes are cells that form the inner lining of the brain ventricles and the spinal canal. They play an important role in maintaining the normal functioning of the central nervous system.

Ependymocytes have many functions, including producing and secreting fluid that fills the ventricles and spinal canal, and protecting against injury and infection. In addition, they are involved in the metabolism between the blood and the brain.

One of the most important functions of ependymocytes is to maintain normal pressure levels in the ventricles and spinal canal. They regulate the production and outflow of fluid, which helps maintain normal pressure inside the ventricles and spinal cord.

In addition, ependymocytes play an important role in protecting the brain from damage. They are involved in the repair of damaged tissue and protect the brain from infections and other damage.

In general, ependymocytes are key cells in maintaining the normal functioning of the central nervous system and play an important role in its functioning.

Ependymocytes (enpendymal cells, ependymal cells) are tissue that is located inside the cranial and spinal cavities. This name comes from the Latin word "endyma", which translates as "end" or "tip". It appeared in 1
