SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM – 2
The simple cuboidal epithelium shown in the image is part of a structure called the choroid plexus, which is placed inside the cerebral ventricles.
This epithelium is responsible for the secretion of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that bathes the central nervous system internally and externally.
Observe that this epithelium is formed by only one layer of epithelial cells. The cross-section of the cells appears to be a square and the spherical nuclei are central. The cells are, therefore, cuboidal.
