Dev of Nervous System Flashcards
when does the dev of nervous system start
3rd week of dev
explain how the neural plate is formed
ectoderm at the dorsal surface of embryo bet primitive knot and buccopharyngeal membrane thickens forming neural plate
describe the shape of neural plate
pear shaped and wider cranially
explain how the neural fold is formed
plate will develop a longitudinal neural groove that will deepen and as it deepens lateral edges elevate forming neural folds
explain how the neural tube is formed
neural folds will fuse starting at cervical region and extends in cephalic and caudal direction to from the neural tube
what are the open ends of the neural tube
anterior and posterior neuropores
when does the neural tube close
28 days in general
cranial neuropore - 25th
caudal neuropore - 28th
explain the difference from an open fold once that tube has closes
the tube sinks beneath the surface of the ectoderm
it refers to the 3 dilations of the cephalic end of neural tube
primary brain vesicles
what are the primary brain vesicles
prosencephalon
mesencephalon
rhombencephalon
what are the 2 flexures of the rhombencephalon
cephalic - midbrain
cervical - bet hindbrain and SC
what is the main thing happens at the 5th week of development
primary vesicles differentiate into 5 secondary vesicles
the ______ is continuous w the brain vesicles
central canal of SC
prosencephalon differentiates into what
telencephalon
diencephalon
mesencephalon differentiates into what
mesencephalon
rhombencephalon differentiates into what
metencephalon
myelencephalon
what separates mesencephalon and metencephalon
rhombencephalic isthmus
what separates metencephalon and myelenecephalon
pontine flexure
corresponding cavity/lumen of telencephalon
lateral vent
corresponding cavity/lumen of diencephalon
3rd vent
corresponding cavity/lumen of mesencephalon
cerebral aqeuduct of sylvius
corresponding cavity/lumen of metencephalon and myelencephalon
4th vent
discuss the formation of floor and roof plates of the SC
cavity of neural tube narrows to form a dorsiventral cleft with lateral walls and thin floor and roof plates
how are basal and alar plates formed in general
intermediate zone of the lateral wall forms large anterior thickening basal plate and small posterior thickening alar plate
compare basal and alar plate
basal - ventral, larger, motor
alar - dorsal, smaller, sensory
refers to the longitudinal groove bet dorsal and ventral horn cells
sulcus limitans
forms due to the continuous growth of basal plate
anterior median fissure
forms due to the continuous growth of alar plate
posterior median septun
what forms the central canal of the SC
narrowing of the lumen of the neural tube
how are intermediate zones of the SC formed
bc neuroblast cannot divide further they migrate peripherally to form intermediate zone
how are marginal zones of the SC formed
neuroblasts will also grow peripherally forming a layer external to the intermediate zone known as the marginal zone
what is the significance of intermediate and marginal zone in SC
intermediate - becomes gray matter of SC
marginal - becomes myelinated; white matter of SC
what do matrix cells give rise to
astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and ependymal cells
where do matrix cells come from
the wall of neural tube contains pseudostratified columnar epithelial cells
what happens to the neural tube as the development progresses
it elongates and remain small in diameter
what is the ventricular zone
zone directly after the cavity of neural tube composes of the neuroepithelial later
explain the connection of cell division and the neural tube
nuclei of cells move in towards the cavity to divide and outward to the periphery during intermitotic phases
what happens to cells once the neural tube closes
neuroepithelial cells give rise to neuroblasts
discuss the development of motor neuron
medial group - axons leave anterior surface of SC to supply muscles
lateral group - axons that leaves as autonomic preganglionic fibers
together they form the anterior root of SC
compare medial and lateral group of motor neurons
medial - motor cla sa mga muscles
lateral - supplies for ANS
what SC roots are autonomic preganglionic fibers
T1-L3
discuss the development of afferent neurons in sensory pathway
neural crest cells migrate to the posterolateral pos on both side of SC and differentiates into neuroblasts
what happens to central processes of afferent sensory neurons
becomes posterior root of SC
what are the 2 processes neuroblasts develop into
peripheral - axons of sensory nerve fibers
central - migrates to posterior part of SC and mapupunta either posterior gray column or sa marginal zone na white
how are posterior root ganglion formed
neural crest cells form the capsular/satellite cells that surround a unipolar nerve cell body
how are meninges in VC formed
from mesenchyme and ssurround nila neural tube
what is the length of VC and SC at 2 mo of development
same length but VC grows more so VC > SC
what is the significance of a longer VC than SC
ant and post roots of SN below L1 descend within the VC until they reach their IV foramen exits
what is filum terminale
pia matter that is attached to the coccygeal end of SC until coccyx; slender fibrous strand
what is cauda equina
horse tail
passes obliquely sa anterior and posterior roots of SN and filum terminale found at the lower end of VC
which secondary vesicle does the medulla oblongata come from
myelencephalon
discuss the initial formation of the medulla
initially may basal and alar plates separated by a sulcus limitans
the lateral walls will move laterally at higher levels expanding the 4th ventricle
in the formation of the medulla the basal and alar plates are separated by _______
sulcus limitans
in the formation of the medulla the lateral walls move laterally expanding the _______
4th ventricle
alar plates lie _____ to basal plates
lateral
neurons of basal plate of the medulla form motor nuclei of which cranial nerves
CN IX, X, XI AND XII
the motor nuclei from the basal plate are situated where in the cerebellum
floor of 4th ventricle medial to the sulcus limitans
neurons of alar plate from the medulla form which sensory nuclei of which cranial nerves/structures
CN V, VIII, IX and X
gracile and cuneate nuclei
