B) Formation of myelin sheath
C) Formation of CSF
D) Formation of ganglia ​

Answer 1

ANSWER: A) REPAIR OF AXONS

Answer 2

Damage to ependymal cells would most likely affect the formation of CSF

• The ependyma refers to a neuroepithelial tissue located in the brain and the spinal cord.
• It is primarily involved in the synthesis of CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid).
• On its apical surface, it has cilia and microvilli that helps in the regulation of the CSF.
• CSF is synthesized by the activity of the choroid plexus which is in turn formed by the modification in the ependymal cells.
• The ependymal cells are a type of neuroglial cells.
