The scanning electron microscope was used to survey the brain ventricular system of the female armadille (Dasypus novemcinctus) with emphasis on the third ventricle. The walls of the lateral ventricles, aqueduct, and fourth ventricle are covered by long cilia. In the lateral ventricle, the cilia are arranged in groups; but in the aqueduct and fourth ventricle, they are evenly placed over the cellular surfaces. The ependymal cells of the third ventricle are densely ciliated except for the organum vasculosum and infundibular recess. The non-ciliated luminal surface of these areas has a pebblestone appearance punctuated by numerous microvilli and two types of supraependymal cells.
使用扫描电子显微镜观察雌性犰狳（九带犰狳）的脑室系统，重点观察第三脑室。侧脑室、导水管和第四脑室的壁上覆盖着长纤毛。在侧脑室中，纤毛成组排列；但在导水管和第四脑室中，它们均匀地分布在细胞表面。除了血管器和漏斗隐窝外，第三脑室的室管膜细胞密布纤毛。这些区域无纤毛的管腔表面呈鹅卵石外观，有许多微绒毛和两种室管膜上细胞。
