context_page_description: The ependyma is the thin neuroepithelial lining of the ventricular system of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. The ependyma is one of the four types of neuroglia in the central nervous system. It is involved in the production of cerebrospinal fluid, and is shown to serve as a reservoir for neuroregeneration.
