A

day 28

39
Q

brain region starts to develop after closure of what?

A

superior neuropore

40
Q

when brain begins development what 3 fluid filled englargements form?

A
  1. hindbrain
  2. midbrain
  3. forebrain
41
Q

brain development: what does the hindbrain consist of?

A

medulla, pons, cerebellum, with central canal forming 4th ventricle

42

what happens in hindbrain during brain development?

A

inner layer cell bodies migrate through white matter to outside

43
Q

A

midbrain

44
Q

5th lobe of brain?

A

insula (deep to lateral sulcus)

45
Q

brain development: forebrain
- ___ region remains near midline forming diencephalon to include thalamus and hypothalamus

AFTER - function depends on where cell lands

innervation

52
Q

Myelination of long axons begins in ___ fetal month with most finished at ___ years, depending on the system

A

4th, 3

  • motor roots of SC are myelinated at 1 month old, but nerves from cortex to motor neurons are not fully myelinated until 2 years (children may “grow into deficits”)

53
Q

possible neural tube defects?

A
  1. anencephaly: brain has not developed
