Development of PNS Flashcards
4th somite and above (superiorly)
brain
below 4th somite (5th…) (inferiorly)
spinal cord
Gray Matter
location of the cell bodies of the neurons that make the H shape in the spinal cord; they are not myelinated
Dorsal or posterior horn
sensory (afferent neurons)
Lateral horns
autonomics; only T1-L2
Anterior or ventral horns
motor (efferent nuerons)
White Matter
Mainly myelinated axons surrounding the H
Dorsal or posterior funiculus
sensory axons
Lateral funiculus
sensory and motor axons
Ventral or anterior funiculus
primarily motor axons
Alar Plate
Sensory neurons that stay completely in CNS
Basal Plate
motor neurons in skeletal muscle and pre-synaptic neurons for autonomics
Sulcus limitans
separates the Alar and Basal plate
Ventricular zone
right next to neural canal; stem cells can give rise to other cells to migrate up to intermediate zoneor stay and give rise to epindymoblast and then ependymal cells which will line ventricles and central canal
choroid plexus cell
makes CSF; comes from epindymoblast
Intermediate zone
stem cells that migrate in and form neurons, astrocytes (structural), and other cells; gray matter
