4.35 Choroid plexus

Version française

Longitudinal section through the 4th ventricle (*) delimited by the medulla oblongata (MO) and the cerebellum (Ce).

In the lumen of the ventricle the numerous projections of the choroid plexus (arrows) are present and show their simple cuboidal epithelium lining a thin core of loose connective tissue.

Well provided with small vessels, the choroid plexus is a site of production of the cerebrospinal fluid.
