It is a remnant of the cavity of the neural tube that forms during embryonic development.<\/p>\n<p>Superiorly, the central canal communicates with the ventricular system of the brain. Both the central canal and the brain ventricles contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).<\/p>\n<p>The figure shows a cross section of the central canal. It is lined by ependymal cells, which form a simple epithelium composed of ciliated columnar or cuboidal cells. The arrows indicate the cilia on the apical surfaces of the ependymal cells.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/index.php\/9-26-nervous-tissue\/\">NEXT PAGE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/index.php\/9-24-nervous-tissue\/\">PREVIOUS PAGE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/index.php\/9-0-nervous-tissue\/\">MENU OF THIS CHAPTER<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-row\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-1\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/div><\/div>  <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-row\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3889","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3889","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3889"}],"version-history":[{"count":45,"href":"https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3889\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26390,"href":"https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3889\/revisions\/26390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
