Development Of Nervous System Flashcards
Development of CNS : germ layers - endoderm
GI tract ,liver and lungs
Development of CNS - mesoderm
Urogenital system , CV system , muscles , bone
Development of CNS : ectoderm (surface ectoderm )
Anterior pituitary ,lens ,cornea
Development of CNS : ectoderm (neural tube )
Posterior pituitary,retina ,optic nerve ,brain ,spinal cord (CNS)
What happens in the 3rd week of development
Notochord induces the cells of the overlying ectoderm to differentiate into neuroectoderm
What does the neuroectoderm contain
Neural plate and neural groove (neural tune develops and neural crest cells migrate )
Development of CNS : ectoderm (neural crest )
Develops into PNS AND ANS
adrenal medulla , autonomic and sensory nerves
Whatβs happening In neurulation
By the end of week 3
Wide cranial portion - future Brain
Narrow caudal portion - future spinal cord
How does the future spinal cord lengthen
Somites continue to develop and be added to the trunk region
Day 22 of neurulation
Neural folds begin to fuse closing the neural groove
Neuroectodermal cells along crest of folds separate
What happens after day 22 of neurulation
A narrow neural canal is present and it gets smaller as the cells In the wall of the neural tube proliferate
What are the openings in the tube that eventually close and when do they close
Rostral neuropore - closes day 25
Caudal neuropore - closes day 27
What are the primary brain vesicles
Prosencephalon - forebrain
Mesencephalon - midbrain
Rhombencephalon - hindbrain
Secondary blood vesicles
Telencephalon Diencephalon Mesencephalon Metencephalon Myelencephalon
What initially lines the neural tube
A thick layer of neuroepithelium which forms the ventricular zone
