These cells line the Choroid Plexus, a layer of tissue that lines the inside of the ventricles of the nervous system.  The swollen tips of these cells secrete the cerebrospinal fluid which bathes the brain in glucose, and proteins, and prevents it from collapsing under its own weight.

Alexandria’s Genesis, a.k.a violet eyes (a genetic mutation).

When someone is born with Alexandria’s Genesis, their eyes are blue or gray at birth. After six months, the eyes begin to change from their original color to purple, and this process lasts six months. During puberty, the color deepens to dark purple, a deep purple, a royal purple, or a violet-blue color and remains that way. It does not affect the person’s eyesight. Those who have this mutation will never grow any facial, body, pubic, or anal hair (not including hair on their head, on their ears, noses, eyebrows and eyelashes) Women also do not menstruate, but are fertile.

 GORGEOUS EYES AND NO MENSTRUATION? WHAT THE… WHY WAS I NOT BORN WITH THIS.. HAHAHA

Tiffany Yorks was born with sirenomelia, fused legs that resemble a mermaid’s tail. Tiffany is the first and oldest known survivor of the condition, though she has had her share of related ailments, including kidney and heart defects. Nineteen-year-old Tiffany has undergone more than 30 operations, and though her legs are now separate, knee ailments have left her in a wheelchair.
