Previous tossup - Next tossup

The apical side of this tissue contains Kolmer cells, a class of unique tissue-resident macrophages. “Strap junctions” join adjacent cells early in this tissue’s development, which follows the 4-stage Netsky model and is heavily dependent on glycogen accumulation. It isn’t in the thyroid or the liver, but epithelial cells in this tissue produce the thyroxine transport protein, transthyretin. A class of secretory cells in this tissue pass their output through the (*) foramen of Monro. Aquaporins lining epithelial cells (-5[1])in this tissue (-5[1])provide convective (-5[1])[emphasize] input into the glymphatic system. This tissue is lined with a class of ciliated, (-5[1])simple columnar (-5[1])cells that secrete roughly 500 milliliters of fluid daily into the lateral ventricles, which are called ependymal (10[1])cells. For 10 points, name this specialized network of capillaries and secretory cells that make new cerebrospinal fluid. (10[1]0[14]) ■END■

ANSWER: choroid plexus [accept epiplexus; prompt on the blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier or blood–CSF barrier by asking “what is the primary tissue component of this barrier?”; prompt on brain ventricles or lateral ventricles by asking “what is the primary tissue lining these regions?”]
