Other Terms: Choroid plexus, Chorioid plexus, Plexus choroideus, Plexus choroidae, Plexus choroïde
Description
The choroid plexus is formed from mesenchyme and ependymal cells. These ependymal cells, located on the ventricles of the brain, produce cerebrospinal fluid. Another function of the choroid plexus is to act as a filtration system. They are found in the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle and are present at the tip of the third ventricle. Each of the four ventricles of the brain contain a choroid plexus.
