Chapter 11 - DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM Flashcards
Immature neurons which become the structural and functional cells of the central nervous system
Neuroblast
Develop into the connective tissue of the CNS called neuroglia.
Spongioblast
prosencephalon, mesencephalon, rhombencephalon
Primary brain vesicles
telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, metencephalon,
myelencephalon
Secondary Brain Vesicles
Ventral cranial flexure which occurs in the midbrain
Cephalic flexure
A gradual ventral bend between the hindbrain and the spinal cord
Cervical flexure
A slight dorsal bending in the rhombencephalon.
Inverted arrangement of white and gray matter is brought about by unequal growth of the basal
and alar regions of the brain vesicles.
Pontine flexure
from the posterior portion of the neural tube (where there is underlying notochord)
Spinal cord
covering of the CNS; composed of pia mater, arachnoid and dura mater; derived from neural crest cells
Meninges
gives rise to the nucleus pulposus, a gel-like substance surrounded by annulus fibrosus found between vertebrae
Notochord
spaces wherein CSF-secreting choroid plexuses are found
Ventricles
consists of cranial and spinal nerves
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
sensory
afferent
motor
efferent
innervating skin and skeletal muscle
somatic
innervating vessels and viscera
visceral
Becomes the CNS
Neural tube
Some of it become pigment cells in skin, neurons, glial cells of PNS, forms mesenchyme.
Neural crest
Mesoderm blocks located just lateral to the notochord which induced ______ development
Somites
mesenchyme forms less-developed somites, called
somitomeres
(ventromedial region) gives rise to vertebrae, ribs, and endochondral bones at the
base of the skull.
Sclerotome
(lateral region) gives rise to the dermis of skin
Dermatome
(intermediate region) gives rise to skeletal muscles of the body
Myotome
