Development of Central Nervous System Flashcards
gastrulation -
primitive streak stage
Cranial part of the ___ presage the establishment of the brain and spinal cord
neural tube
Neural crest cells give rise to the ___ and ___
peripheral nervous system (PNS)
autonomic nervous system (ANS)
- Pseudostratified epithelium
- Progenitor cells of the nervous system
- is divided into (from lumen outward) ependymal, mantle, and marginal layer
Wall of Neural Tube
Wall is divided into (from lumen outward)
?
ependymal, mantle, and marginal layer
- Closest to the lumen of the neural tube
- Remaining cells differentiate to become ependymal of the central canal and ventricular system of the brain
Ventricular/ Ependymal Neuroepithelial Layer
- Middle layer, immediately surrounds the ventricular zone
- Contains cell bodies of post-mitotic neuroblasts and presumptive glial cells
- Becomes the grey matter which is H or butterfly shaped
Intermediate/ Mantle Layer
- Peripheral layer
- Contains neuronal processes but not neural cell bodies
- Forms the white matter, it is white because it contains myelinated neuronal process (myelin is white)
Marginal Layer
- ___ becomes the dorsal sensory horn of the spinal cord
Alar plate
- ___ becomes the ventral motor
horn
Basal plate
- ____ becomes the dorsal median septum
Roof plate
- ___ becomes the ventral fissure
Floor plate
longitudinal groove separating the alar and basal plates of the developing spinal cord
Sulcus limitans-
becomes a circular central canal
Longitudinal groove
Ventral thickenings that form the ventral horn of the spinal cord containing motor neurons (general somatic effect efferent) and autonomic neurons (visceral efferent) The two are connected by the floor plate ventral to the central canal.
BASAL PLATES
Dorsal thickenings Form dorsal horn containing the sensory neurons receiving input from the skin, joints and muscles (general somatic afferent), from the pharynx (special visceral afferent) and from
the viscera and heart (general visceral afferent) The left and right are connected dorsally over the central canal by the roof plate.
ALAR PLATES
- Arise from mitosis of the neuroepithelial cells
- Progenitor of nerve cells or neurons
- Once formed, they lose their ability to divide
- Neurogenic cells in the ventral part of the spinal cord and the hindbrain are usually the first to stop dividing
- Cortical neurons in the cerebrum and the cerebellum are the last population to be formed
NEUROBLASTS
- Give rise to astrocytes, which are present both in the mantle and marginal layers and oligodendrocytes which mainly populates the marginal layer.
SPONGIOBLASTS/
GLIOBLASTS
The cranial part of the neural tube form neuromeres/ vesicles that forms the ____ and the portion of the neural tube with fading neuromeres becomes the _____.
BRAIN
SPINAL CORD
At 1st, there are ____ primary brain vesicles, then ____ vesicles from which adult parts of the brain arise
three
five
- Divides into telencephalon and diencephalon
- Optic vesicle grow out as evaginations from each side of the prosencephalon
PROSENCEPHALON
- Forms the cerebral hemispheres and olfactory bulbs
TELENCEPHALON
Cavities in the telencephalon form the ____
lateral ventricles
consists of genicular gyrus, supracallosal gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus as well as the hippocampal gyrus and dentate gyrus
Archicortex-
comprises the olfactory bulbs, olfactory tracts, olfactory tubercle and piriform lobe
Paleocortex-
makes up most of the cerebral cortex
Neocortex-
Cerebrum evolutionarily subdivided into:
Allocortex
Neocortex-
Surface of the cerebral hemispheres
become folded and develop the sulci
(grooves) and gyri (elevations)
CEREBRUM
those that synapse with neurons of the
same hemisphere
Association neurons-
those with axons that connect corresponding regions of the two hemispheres
Commissural neurons-
those with axons that connect the cortex with deeper region of the CNS
Projection neurons-
- Gives rise to the epithalamus including the epiphysis, thalamus, metathalamus and hypothalamus as well as the neurohypophysis and the optic cups
DIENCEPHALON
