Nervous Tissue 2 Flashcards
what are the invaginated folds of pia matter that are rich in capillaries and are covered by simple cuboidal cells
choriod plexus
choriod plexus produce what
CSF
what is the specialized tissue that projects as elaborate folds with many vili into the four ventricles of the brain
choriod plexus
what ventricles are choriod plexi found
roof of the 3rd and 4th ventricles
part of the walls of the two lateral ventricels
what does each villus of CP contain
a thin layer of vascularized pia matter that is covered by cuboidal ependymal cells
what is the function of the choriod plexus
to remove water from blood and release it as CSF
where does the CSF fill
- ventricles
central canal of S.C - subarachnoid space
- perivascular spaces
what acts as a mechanical shock absorber and is important for CNS metabolism
choriod plexus
the three connective tissues of neruons
endoneurium
perineurium
epineurium
what c.T. layer consisy of a thin layer of reticular fibers that are produced by schwann cells
endoneruium
what are associated with individual nerve fibers
endoneruium
what forms a barrier to passage of most macromolecules
perineruium
what protects nerves from aggregation
perinerium
what is the outermost tissue of a peripheral nerve
epineruium
what carries the blood vessels that supply the nerves
epineurium
