Question: Which of the following is the chief component of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reabsorption?

Options:

• Chorionic villi
• Pericyte
• Ependyma
• Arachnoid villi

Correct Answer: Arachnoid villi

Explaination: CSF is continually produced by the choroid plexus throughout the ventricular system and is reabsorbed by the arachnoid villi. Pericytes surround the endothelial cells of blood vessels in the brain. Ependyma refers to the glial-cell inner lining of the ventricles in the brain and central canal of the spinal cord. Chorionic villi are a part of the placenta
