A network formed by blood vessels and the tela choroidea which secretes CSF into the ventricular spaces.
TODO - check relationship to ventricle. Check subclass - ZFA says vasculature. Note that FMA:61934 (choroid plexus of cerebral hemisphere) has exact synonym 'choroid plexus' but it is not clear that this belongs here, as the fourth ventricle is not in the cerebral hemisphere
A tuft of capillaries that project into the ventricles of the brain and secretes cerebral spinal fluid. The choroid plexus is covered by a cuboidal epithelium which maintains the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.[TAO]
Fringe of the tela choroidea of the brain ventricles[MP]
plexus choroideus
ventricular choroid plexus
