vascular complex in 3rd and 4th ventricle that forms cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Helpful?           0
The vascular complex in the roof of the third and fourth ventricles of the brain, responsible for the production of cerebrospinal fluid.

(Gr. Chorion, a skin; like the chorion because of its vascularity): A vascularized epithelium projecting into the ventricles of the brain that produces the cerebrospinal fluid.

Capillary network supplying the outer layers of the retina.
Helpful?           0
A network of blood vessels coming from the innermost part of the brain. This area is responsible for producing the brain and spinal fluid.
Helpful?           0
Mass of specialized capillaries that lines the ventricles in the brain; these capillaries secrete cerebral spinal fluid.
Helpful?           0
Vascular structures in the ventricular system that producecerebrospinal fluid.
Helpful?           0
a vascular plexus of the cerebral ventricles that regulate intraventricular pressure
Helpful?           0
A site of production of cerebrospinal fluid in the adult brain. It is formed by the invagination of ependymal cells into the ventricles, which become richly vascularized (3).
Helpful?           0
A layer of epithelium that projects into the ventricles of the brain; produces the cerebrospinal fluid.
Helpful?           0
(KO-royd PLEHK-suhs) A mass of specialized capillaries in the ventricles of the brain, from which cerebrospinal fluid is produced.
Helpful?           0
Folded processes that project into the ventricles and secrete CSF.
Helpful?           0
A vascular structure in the ventricles of the brain which produces cerebrospinal fluid.
Helpful?           0
A network of capillaries located in the walls of the four brain ventricles. These plexuses are the production sites of the cerebrospinal fluid, a colorless liquid that protects the brain and the spinal cord against chemical and physical injuries.
Helpful?           0
A highly vascularized fold of the pia matter in the third, fourth, and lateral ventricles that secretes the cerebrospinal fluid.
Helpful?           0
A highly vascular secretory tissue, found within the ventricular system of the brain, responsible for secreting CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). image
Helpful?           0
The choroid plexus is a rich network of blood vessels located in the brain, and is responsible for the production of cerebrospinal fluid, the fluid which surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord.
Helpful?           0
Vascular structures in the ventricular system that produce cerebrospinal fluid.
Helpful?           0
This is what produces spinal fluid, which flows through the ventricles and meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Helpful?           0
Two sponge-like tissues in the lateral ventricles that produce the spinal fluid.
Helpful?           0
Specialized tissue within the ventricles of the brain that produces CSF.
Helpful?           0
Specialized cells located in the ventricles of the brain that produce cerebrospinal fluid.
Helpful?           0
The choroid plexus, a highly vascular membrane and part of the roof of the brain, consists of both anterior and posterior portions and functions as secretor of cerebrospinal fluid.
Helpful?           0
vascular structures within the ventricular system that produce cerebrospinal fluid.
Helpful?           0
The choroid plexus is the area on the ventricles of the brain where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced by modified ependymal cells.
