Question
which of the following glial cells is responsible for the production of cerebral spinal fluid (csf) in the central nervous system (cns)?
a.) ependymal cell
b.) oligodenrocyte
c.) microglia
d.) schwann cells
Ependymal cells line the ventricles of the brain and central canal of the spinal cord. They have cilia that help circulate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and are directly involved in its production. Oligodendrocytes are responsible for myelinating axons in the central nervous system. Microglia are the resident immune cells of the CNS, acting as phagocytes. Schwann cells myelinate axons in the peripheral nervous system.
