Development of PNS Flashcards
During what week do the PNS and CNS develop?
Week 3
Weeks 3-8 are considered what during development?
Critical Period
***Major abnormalities can occur here
T/F. Weeks 9-38 (birth) can have both major and minor abnormalities in development.
False. These weeks only have functional and minor abnormalities occur.
What are the weeks in Neural development that major abnormalities can occur and be detrimental?
Weeks 3-16
***Weeks after that can have minor abnormalities occur, and this development continues until age 22 when CNS myelination is complete
These can be used clinically in an ultrasound to age an embryo.
Somites
***Count the number present on the embryo
At the end of which week would we have a Neural Tube/
Week 4
What is included in the CNS?
Brain
Spinal Cord
What is included in the PNS?
Cranial Nerves Spinal Nerves Ganglia Enteric Plexus Sensory receptors
What is the PNS divided into?
Somatic
Autonomic
(SOMATIC/AUTONOMIC) is voluntary and (SOMATIC/AUTONOMIC) is involuntary and done unconsciously.
Somatic
Autonomic
***Each have a sensory and motor component
What is the Autonomic PNS subdivided into?
Parasympathetic
Sympathetic
T/F. Parasympathetic and Sympathetic groups are sensory.
False. They are motor.
What are the types of matter the spinal cord is made up of?
Gray Matter
White Matter
This is the term for a collection of axons.
Funiculus
This is where cell bodies of neurons are located, and it has a posterior, anterior, and lateral horn.
Gray Matter
This is where axons are located and it is where the posterior, anterior, and lateral funiculus are located. It is myelinated.
White Matter
What is the sensory component of Gray Matter?
Dorsal (posterior) horn
What is the autonomic (sympathetic) component of Gray Matter?
Lateral horn
What is the motor component of Gray Matter?
Ventral (anterior) horn
What component of White Matter is only sensory and which one is sensory AND motor?
Dorsal (posterior) funiculus
Lateral funiculus
What component of the White Matter is primarily motor?
Ventral (anterior) funiculus
The Neural Tube is caudal to what?
Fourth pair of somites
This is what produces sensory neurons that stay in the brain and spinal cord.
Alar Plate
***Sensory neurons that go out into the periphery come from Neural Crest cells!
What type of germ layer is the Alar Plate?
Neuroectoderm
This gives rise to motor neurons (Brachial Plexus, etc.).
Basal Plate
What lies between the Alar Plate and the Basal Plate?
Sulcus limitans
In the formation of the spinal cord, this zone is closest to the central canal.
Ventricular zone (Zone 1)
In the formation of the spinal cord, this zone is what makes up the Gray Matter (cell bodies).
Intermediate zone (Zone 2)
