Choroid plexus
The choroid plexus, or plica choroidea, is a plexus of cells and blood vessels that arises from the tela choroidea in each of the ventricles of the brain. It consists of modified ependymal cells surrounding a core of capillaries and loose connective tissue. Cells of the choroid plexus secrete most of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the central nervous system. Because the CSF is important for regulating the chemical and physical environment of the brain and spinal cord, the choroid plexus plays an essential role in the development and homeostasis of the central nervous system.
