Development of the peripheral nervous system Flashcards
Central Nervous System (CNS)
– Brain
– Spinal Cord
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
– Cranial nerves – Spinal nerves – Ganglia – Enteric plexus – Sensory receptors
gray matter
- location of cell bodies and neurons
- unmyelinated
dorsal (posterior) horn
sensory
lateral horn
autonomics
anterior (ventral horn)
motor
white matter
- location of axons
- myelinated
dorsal (posterior) funiculus
sensory
lateral funiculus
sensory and motor
anterior (ventral) funiculus
- primarly motor
what does the sulcus limitans separate?
alar plate from the basal plate
alar plate
sensory neurons that stay in CNS
basal plate
- motor neurons
- preganglionic neurons for ANS and neurons to musle
central canal
connected to ventricular system in brain
ventricular zone
-next to central canal
cells of ventricular zone
germinal or ventricular cells (stem cells)
- ependymoblast
- ependyma cell
- choroid plexus cells (makes CSF)
intermediate zone
-gray matter
intermediate zone cells
- astrocyte
- neuron
marginal zone
-white matter
marginal zone cells
- axon
- oligodendrocyte
what layer do mesenchymal and microglial cells come from?
mesoderm
position of spinal cord in newborns
L2 or L3
position of spinal cord in adults
L1 or L2
neural crest cells
give rise to
spinal ganglion cells and
sensory neurons in the
periphery
how is spinal cord formed
Dorsal (sensory) and ventral
(motor) region dependent on
concentration gradients
