The lining of the ventricles of the brain is a location of which type of eukaryotic cell?
A
Osteoclasts
B
Ependymal cells
C
Hepatocytes
D
Adipocytes
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the anatomy of the brain ventricles. The ventricles are cavities within the brain that produce and circulate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). They are lined by a specialized type of cell.
Step 2: Recall the function of ependymal cells. Ependymal cells are a type of glial cell that form the epithelial lining of the brain ventricles and the central canal of the spinal cord. They play a role in producing and circulating CSF.
Step 3: Eliminate incorrect options based on their functions and locations. Osteoclasts are involved in bone resorption, hepatocytes are liver cells, and adipocytes store fat. None of these are associated with the brain ventricles.
Step 4: Match the correct cell type to the location. Ependymal cells are the only option that aligns with the lining of the brain ventricles.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is ependymal cells, as they are specifically adapted to line the ventricles and interact with cerebrospinal fluid.
