28
Q

why does the cauda equina form

A

the spinal cord and vertebral column are originally the same length, but the vertebral column grows much faster which stretches the bottom forming the cauda equina

29
Q

high BMP levels activate what in the formation of the spinal cord

A

PAX3 and PAX7

30
Q

high SHH levels activate what in the formation of the spinal cord

A

NKX2.2 and NKX 6.2

31
Q

where are BMPs released from

A

roof plate and surface ectoderm

32
Q

where is SHH released from

A

notochord and floor plate

33
Q

how is the alar plate formed

A

high BMP –> PAX3 and PAX7 activated –> turn on sensory neuron differentiation –> alar plate

34
Q

how is the basal plate formed

A

high SHH –> NKX2.2 and NKX6.1 activated –> turn on ventral neuron formation –> basal plate

35
Q

lots of BMP results in:

A

dorsally patterned (sensory) cell bodies in grey matter

36
Q

lots of SHH results in:

A

ventrally patterned (motor) cell bodies in grey matter
