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
