6.2a Development of the CNS Flashcards
Process by which the neural plate forms the neural tube
Neurulation
Length of the entire process of neural fold formation, elevation, closure (in days)
28 Days
CNS development starts at the ___ (in weeks)
3rd week
Elevation on the lateral edges of the thickened neural plate
Neural folds
The closure of the neural tube begins at the
Middle part, approximately at the cervical region or the 5th somite
Day of closure of anterior and posterior neuropore
Day 25 and Day 28, respectively
Lining that comprises the neuroepithelial layer
Pseudostratified epithelium
Cells that form the mantle layer
Neuroblasts
Origin of the gray matter of the spinal cord
Mantle layer
__ plate is the dorsal thickening of the neural tube which contain dorsal sensory horn cells
Alar plate
__ plate is the ventral thickeing of the neural tube which contain ventral motor horn cells that eventuall becomes the motor area
Basal Plate
What is the longitudinal groove that marks the boundary between the alar and basal plates
Sulcus Limitans
The intermediate horn is the accumulation of neurons between the ventral motor horn and dorsal sensory horn; this is only present in the __ and __ of the spinal cord
Thoracic and upper lumbar levels of the spinal cord
The outermost layer of the spinal cord and forms the white matter of the spinal cord
Marginal layer
The axons of neurons in the basal plate break through the marginal zone and become collectively known as __
Ventral motor root of the spinal nerve
Axons of neurons in the alar plate form
Association neurons
These suporting cells are formed from neuroepithelial cells after the production of neuroblasts ceases
Gliablasts
Glial cells that mirated to the mantle layer become the
Protoplasmic and fibrillar astrocytes
Glial cells that migrated to the marginal layer that form myelin sheaths become the ____
Oligodendroglial cells
Origin of microglial cells
Vascular mesenchyme
When the neuroepthelial cells cease to produce neuroblasts and gliablasts, they differentiate into __
ependymal cells
These cells form the lining of the central canal of the spinal cord and the ventricles
Ependymal cells
Two processes of sensory ganglia and structures they form
Centrally-growing processes: dorsal sensory root of spinal nerve
Peripherally-growing processes: join with the ventral motor roots to form the trunk of the spinal nerve
