Q

What happens after day 22 of neurulation

A

A narrow neural canal is present and it gets smaller as the cells In the wall of the neural tube proliferate

16
Q

What happens in the spinal cord development

A

Cells in the ventricular zone multiply and they ,ingrate to the intermediate zone (mantle layer)
These cells then different every into neuroblasts which will firm neurons

17
Q

Where will you find the intermediate zone (mantle layer )

A

Between the ventricular zone and the marginal zone

18
Q

What separates the alar and basal plates

A

The sulcus limitians

19
Q

The intermediate zone thickens in which 4 regions

A

Pair of alar plates dorsal horns and dorsal gray columns

Pair of basal plates centrally (ventral somatic motor and lateral horns )

20
Q

In spinal cord development what forms the gray matter

A

The intermediate layer

21
Q

In spinal cord development what forms the white matter

A

The marginal layer

22
Q

In spinal development what forms the central canal

A

The cavity of the neural tube

23
Q

What does the ventricular zone in spinal development form

A

The ependymal lining of the central canal

24
Q

Adjacent mesenchyme condenses to form a primordial menix with two layers : what are the two layers

A

Inner - derived from neural crests - pia and arachnoid mater
Outer - derived from mesoderm - dura mater

25
Q

Sclertome - caudal dense part forms ;

A

The intervertebral disc , forms the anulus fibrous of the disc

26
Q

How does a hemi vertrbra occur

A

If one of the pairs of the sclerotomes fail to develop

27
Q

Which cells of the sclerotome make up the vertebral body

A

The cranially placed loosely packed cells

28
Q

What do the remnants of the sclerotome form

A

They form the mesenchymal primordium of the vertebra

29
Q

What are the 3 ossification centers

A

1 centrum - body and 2 neural arch centers (first to ossify )

30
Q

When does the first primary ossification center appear

A

By the end of the 7th week

31
Q

Spina bifida -occulta

A

No bulge over bony defect
No neurological deficits
Tuft of hair or skin dimple may be present

32
Q

Spina bifida - cystica meningocele

A

Bulge over defect

Contains meninges and CSF and subarachnoid space

33
Q

Spina bifida - cystica with meningomyelocele

A

Bulge is seen over defect

Contains meninges ,cord and nerves

34
Q

Spina bifida - cystica with myeloschisis

A

Skin and bony defect with open spinal cord ,seen as a mass of neural tissue

35
Q

Meroencephaly

A

Failure of rostral neuropore to close
Absence of large part of brain and skull
Fatal

36
Q

Hirschsprung’s disease

A

Enflamed sigmoid colon
