ependymal

They probably comprise less than 5% of all ependymal tumors.

Specialized ependymal cells are found within the area postrema.

The ependymal cells line the inside of the ventricles of the brain.

The ependyma is made up of ependymal cells, ependymocytes.

Other supportive cells of the brain include oligodendrocytes and ependymal cells.

Ependymoma is a tumor of the ependymal cells most commonly found in 4th ventricle.

Krause introduced the term fifth ventricle after observation of normal ependymal cells.

The tumor appears to be derived from the specialized ependymal cells of the subcommissural organ.

Ependymal cells are a type of glial cell and are sometimes called a glioma.

These glia include the oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, and astrocytes.

The 3rd ventricle through its ependymal roof.

Modified tight junctions between ependymal cells control fluid release across the epithelium.

The major cell type that makes up the median eminence are specialized ependymal cells known as tanycytes.

The arcuate nucleus also contains a population of specialized ependymal cells, called tanycytes.

Grades of ependymal tumors include the following:

These tumors come from the ependymal cells and because they do not spread into the normal brain tissue, some ependymomas can be cured by surgery.

The choroid plexus is formed from ependymal cells and vascular mesenchyme.

The ependymal cells and astrocytes form glial tubes used by migrating neuroblasts.

The choroid plexus consists of modified ependymal cells.

Specifically, papillary tumors of this region are made up of ependymal cells which form papilla.

Frequently, but not invariably, anaplastic ependymomas have worse prognoses than lower grade ependymal tumors.

The ependymal surface refers to the thin epithelial membrane lining the brain and spinal cord canal.

Tanycytes are special ependymal cells located in the floor of the third ventricle having processes extending deep into the hypothalamus.

An ependymal tumor usually begins in cells that line the fluid-filled spaces in the brain and around the spinal cord.
