Brain Anatomy: Choroid Plexus
Friday October 20, 2006
The choroid plexus is the area of the brain where cerebrospinal fluid is produced.
It contains a capillary bed, pia mater (meninges), and choroid ependymal cells. The ependymal cells help to circulate the cerebrospinal fluid.
Along with the arachnoid membrane (meninges), the choroid plexus acts as a barrier between the blood and the cerebrospinal fluid. This barrier is known as the blood brain barrier.
