Difference between Ependyma and Neuroglia

Ependyma vs. Neuroglia

Ependyma is the thin neuroepithelial lining of the ventricular system of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord, made up of ependymal cells. Neuroglia, also called glial cells or simply glia, are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system.

Similarities between Ependyma and Neuroglia

Ependyma and Neuroglia have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Astrocyte, Brain, Cell (biology), Central nervous system, Cerebrospinal fluid, Choroid plexus, Cilium, Spinal cord, Tanycyte, Ventricular system.

Spinal cord

The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column.

Tanycyte

Tanycytes are special ependymal cells found in the third ventricle of the brain, and on the floor of the fourth ventricle and have processes extending deep into the hypothalamus.

Ventricular system

The ventricular system is a set of four interconnected cavities (ventricles) in the brain, where the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced.
