block 5 lecture 2 Flashcards
what kind of symmetry does the brain have?
bilteral
what is he line running down the center of the brain called?
midline
what two things is the CNS composed of?
cranium and vertebrea
what is the 4th germ layer in the embryo called?
neural crest cells
layers of the trilaminar disk?
amniotic cavity ectoderm mesoderm endoderm yolk sac
what does the thickening of the ectoderm along the mid line form?
central nervous system
the CNS develops a part of ectoderm, what is this specialised region called?
neuroectoderm
what is the boundary called between neuroectoderm and other ectoderm?
neuroectoderm border
during early development what happens to the neuroectoderm?
the midline pushes down to form a gully, the neuoectoderm border forms ridges, these are the neural crest cells, the two neural crest ridges meet along the midline and form a tube, tube zps up where the ridges have met
what happens to the neural crest cells once the neural tube has formed?
the ridges disintergrateand the mesenchyme cells migrate away
neural crest cells give rise to different tissues in the body such as…?
ganglia, neurons, pigment cells, cartilage, dentin, bone, adrenal glands and connective tissue
first three thickenings of the neual tubes precurser of the brain?
for brain, mid brain, hind brain
what are the two regions called that the for brain divides into?
telencephalon and diencephalon
what does the telencephalon develop into?
right and left cerebral hemisphere
what is the posterior part of the forbrain called?
diencephalon
what is the diencephalon the precurser of?
basal ganglia and the thalamus
why does the CNS need to fold?
because it s expanding but it is confined within the cranium
what is the fold call in early development in the mid brain?
cranial flexure
which part of the brain is the cervical flexure?
hind brain
what is the flexure in the pos called?
the pontine flexure
