is the development of the specific tissues and organs of the body.
Organogenesis
Organs that perform related functions are grouped into a
System
How many organ system does the body has?
11
Central nervous system is composed of?
Brain and spinal cord
Are the basic functional unit of the CNS
Neurons ( nerve cells)
The connective tissue cells of the CNS are the
gliocytes
(oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, microgliocytes and ependymal cells).
which contains cytoplasm and nucleus;
nerve cell body
which conducts impulses away from the cell body
Axon
The axon presents at its
end many tiny branches called
Telodendria
where impulses leave the neuron
Telondria
which receive stimuli from the environment and convert these stimuli into
impulses.
Dendrites
Axon only
Unipolar neuron
neuron w/ only one process
Unipolar neuron
axon & dendrite
Bipolar neuron
neuron w/ two processes
Bipolar neuron
neuron w/ many processes
Multipolar neuron
One axon & and many dendrites
Multipolar neuron
Enlarged cranial portion of the neural tube becomes the
Brain
The slender middle and caudal portions become the
Spinal cord
Neural canal becomes the …….
ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the
spinal cord.
Neural crest cells become
(1) neurons of the PNS that have their cell bodies in
ganglia,
(2) neurolemocytes (Schwann cells) of the PNS,
(3) adrenal medulla
cells,
(4) melanocytes of skin and
(5) a variety of structures in the face.
Neuroepithelium gives rise to
neurons, gliocytes and ependymal cells of the CNS.
CNS contains….
blood vessels and
microgliocyte derived from mesoderm
inner layer; composed of neuroepithelial
cells that remain lining the central canal and designated as ependymal cells
Germinal layer or ventricular zone
middle layer; zone of high cell density,
formed by accumulation of neuroblasts and glioblasts
Mantle layer or intermediate zone
becomes the gray matter of
the CNS w/c contains cell bodies of neurons & several gliocytes.
Mantle layer or intermediate zone
The outer layer surrounding the mantle layer; cell-sparse zone
where axons of neurons & some gliocytes are present;
Marginal layer
becomes the white matter
of the CNS which contains mainly myelinated axons of neurons.
Marginal layer
The lateral wall of the neural tube is divided into 2 plates by sulcus limitans
Alar or dorsal plate
Basal or ventral plate
