Anatomy

Ependymoglial Cells

The macroglial cells of EPENDYMA. They are characterized by bipolar cell body shape and processes that contact BASAL LAMINA around blood vessels and/or the PIA MATER and the CEREBRAL VENTRICLES. Muller cells of the RETINA are included based on similar microenvironmental contacts and morphology.
