B7-002 CNS Development Flashcards
notochord induces the overlying ectoderm to differentiate into […] and […]
neuroectoderm
neural plate
notochord becomes the […] in adults
nucleus pulposus
neural plate gives rise to [2]
neural tube
neural crest cells
lateral walls of the neural tube are divided into […] and […] plates
alar (dorsal)
basal (ventral)
the alar (dorsal) plate is induced by
BMPs
the basal (ventral) plate is induced by
SHH
closure of the neural tube starts in the […]
middle and proceeds both rostrally and caudally
failure of caudal neural tube to close but no herniation
dura is intact
spina bifida occulta
associated with tuft of hair or skin dimple at level of bony defect
spina bifida occulta
meninges (but no neural tissue) herniate though bony defect
meningocele
meninges and neural tissue herniate through bony defect
myelomeningocele
exposed, unfused neural tissue without skin/meningeal covering
myeloschisis
failure of rostral neuropore to close
no forebrain, open calvarium
anencephaly
anencephaly often presents with […]
polyhydraminios
(decreased fetal swallowing)
[…] can reduce the incidence of spina bifida
folic acid
sensory neurons derive from
neural crest
adrenergic and cholinergic neurons derive from
neural crest
