The regional structural differences of the humancerebral ventricle have been investigated with thescanning electron microscopy from the point offunctional specialization in the ventricular system.

Materials have been exercised, beginning withthe normal adult human brain at autopsy. Blocksof tissue have been dehydrated in graded alcoholsand amyl-acetate after double fixation in 2. 5%glutar-aldehyde and in 1% 0s04 solution added0.1 Mr-collidin buffer. Tissues have been proceededby a critical point drying method and coated withcarbon and gold in a vaccum evaporater. Thesurface of specimens has been examined with JSM-U3 scanning electron microscope. The results ofobservation are as follows. Ependymal cilia of thehuman brain extend in clusters into the ventricleat the apical surfaces of the ependymal cells.These have an average diameter of 0.25μ andlength of 10μ. Human cilia taper towards thetip like those of rabbit, while club-form in rat.

The lateral ventricle and the cerebral aqueductare so much covered with numerous ciliated epen-dymal cells that the observation of plasmalemmais rather difficult. In the cerebral aqueduct, inter-ependymal gaps are deep, in contrast to the lateralventricle where there are superficial intercellularfurrows.

The human third ventricle exhibits the regionalvariation in the surface structure as seen in animals.Ciliated ependymal cells become sparce towardsthe infundibular recess. The transition zone occursat the level of the underlying paraventicular nuc-leus in the human brain, while it occurs at thelevel of dorsomedial nucleus in rat and rabbit.

A number of hemispherical cells, devoiding ciliaand microvilli, are observed among ciliated epen-dymal cells near the apertura lateralis in the humanfourth ventricle.

The human choroid plexus shows a typical con-voluted structure. Most of epithelial cells possessslender and short cilia. A profusion of microvilliare observed on the surface of the epithelial cells.Most numerous microvilli are observed at thechoroid plexus in the human brain.
