Golgi method (Cajal). radiating branched framework (Fig. 304 A, B). The group of spongioblasts which line the neural cavity constitutes the ependymal layer. Processes from these cells radiate and extend through the whole thickness of the neural tube to its periphery. The cell bodies are columnar and persist as the lining of the central canal and ventricles of the spinal cord and brain (Fig. 305). Near the median line of the spinal cord, both dorsally and ventrally, the supporting tissue retains its primitive ependymal structure in the adult. Elsewhere the supporting framework is differentiated into neuroglia cells and fibers. The neuroglia cells form part of the spongioblast^ syncytium and are.
