CNS Dev't Flashcards
neurulation occurs until
Day 28
entire process of neural fold formation, elevation, and closure
neurulation
appearance of notocord and precordial mesoderm induces overlying ectoderm to thicken forming
neural plate
How is neural fold formed
lateral edges of the neural plate begins to elevate
depressed region in the midline of neural plate
Neural grove
neural folds fused midline
neural tube
neural tube opens posteriorly and anteriorly called
neuropores
closes by day 25
anterior (cranial) neuropore
closes by day 28
posterior (caudal) neuropore
Complete neurulation
closure of posterior neuropore
CNS with T-shaped form is having an
Elongated caudal end
Broader cranial end
3 vesical stage
Prosencephalon
Mesencephalon
Rhombencephalon
Flexures present during 27 days
Cephalic
Cervical
5 Vesical stage
prosencephalon : Telencephalon (lateral ventricle, cerebral hemisphere) & Diencephalon (3rd ventricle and thalamus, hypothalamus)
Mesencephalon: Aqueduct of Sylvius (tectum, crus cerebri)
Rhombencephalon :Metenceohalon ( upper 4th vent, pons& cerebellum) Mesencephalon (lower 4th vent, medulla)
separates Mesencephalon and Rhombencephalon
Rhombocephalic isthmus
Junction of the hindbrain and SC ; disappears at 4th month
Cervical Flexure
Flexure at midbrain region; disappears at 3 vesical stage
Cephalic flexure
between Metencephalon and Myelencephalon
Pontine Flexure
Cavity of cerebral hemispheres
lateral ventricles
Communicates the lateral ventricle with 3rd ventricle
Interventricular foramina of. monroe
cavity of diencephalon
third ventricles
lumen of mesencephalon ;connects 3rd and 4th ventricles
aqueduct of sylvius
Cavity of rhombencephalon
4th ventricle
lumen of Sc
central canal
collection of neuroepithelial cells which extends the entire wall and forms
Pseudostratified epithelium
further differentiation of neuroblasts and makes up the grey matter of SC having a large round nucleus and pale nucleoplasm
Mantle layer
continous addition of neuroblasts to mantle layer results to
Ventral and Dorsal thickening
Sensory area formed from dorsal thickening of the neural tube
Alar plate
motor area formed by ventral thickening
Basal plate
boundary of basal and alar plates
Sulcus Limitans
midline of neural tube serves as pathway for nerve fibers
Roof and Floor plates
small group of neurons accumulating between sensory and motor plates
intermediate horn
outermost layer of SC that comproses the white matter and is myelinated
Marginal layer
has transient dendrites that are lost when entering mantle later
neuroblast/ primitive nerve cells
temporary round cell
Apolar neuroblast
2 cytoplasmic processes on opposite cite of cell body
Bipolar neuroblasts
Has primitive axon and primitive dendrites
multiplar neuroblasts
axons in the basal plate penetrate the marginal layer and become visible on ventral aspect of cord
ventral motor root of spinal nerve
axons in alar plate penetrate marginal layers and ascend or descend as
association neuron
formed when neuroblast production ceases and migrate fr neuroepithelial layer to mantle and marginal
Glial blast
glialblast in mantle and is seen b/w blood vessels
protoplasmic astrocytes and fibrillar astrocytes
glialblast migrated to marginal layers and forms myelin sheath
Ologodendrial cells
from vascular mesenchyme and is highly phagocytic
microglial cells
when neuroepithelial cells ceases to produce neuroblasts, seen in central canal of SC
ependymal cells
from cells that dissociate from the lateral border of the elevated fused neural fold during the elevation of neural plate and gives rise to sensory ganglia
neural crest cells
