Development of the Nervous System Flashcards
notochord induces thickening in the overlying ectoderm, forming the _____
neural plate
neural folds approach midline and fuse, forming ____ (forms dorsal to the notochord, along midsagittal axis)
neural tube
neural tube starts to close at about the ____ level, and progresses cranially and caudally
5th somite
cranial neuropore closes about day ___
25
caudal neuropore closes about day ___
27
_____ is a derivative of the neural crest cells
dorsal root ganglion
embryonic ectoderm will form the ____
epidermis
the neural tube (neuroectoderm) will form the _____
brain and spinal cord (CNS)
the neural canal (neural groove) will from the _____ and _____
ventricles of the brain; central canal of spinal cord
the neural crest will form:
- dorsal root/autonomic/CN ganglia
- bones of face (viscerocranium)
- melanocytes
- schwann cells
- leptomeninges (arachnoid and pia mater)
- adrenal medulla cells
the caudal end of the neural tube will form the ____ and the cranial end of the neural tube will form the ____
spinal cord; brain
the cells of the neural tube are _____
pseudostratified columnar neuroepithelium
the three membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord
the meninges
dura mater embryonic origin
mesenchyme surrounding the neural tube
arachnoid mater embryonic origin
neural crest
pia mater embryonic origin
neural crest
arachnoid mater and pia mater are often called _____ because of their similar embryonic origin
leptomeninges
zones from luminal surface of the neural tube to the spinal meninges
ventricular zone or neuroepithelial zone –> intermediate zone or mantle zone –> marginal zone
the ____ is where you ahve true neuroblasts and true neurons developing, and will eventually become the gray matter of the spinal cord
intermediate or mantle zone
where glial cells are forming; will eventually become the white matter of the brain
marginal zone
on the dorsal aspect of the developing spinal cord, ____ develop within the mantle/intermediate layer
alar
the neurons within the mantle/intermediate layer have _____ function
afferent (sensory)
on ventral aspect of developing spinal cord, ____develop within the mantle/intermediate layer
basal
the neurons within the basal plates have ____ function
efferent (motor)
the alar plates develop into the ____
dorsal sensory horn
the basal plates develop into the _____
ventral motor horn
