Embryology Flashcards
3 germ cells layer
Endoderm
Mesoderm
Ectoderm
The nervous system is derived from this germ layer
Ectoderm
Neural plate is formed during
3rd week
Name of longitudinal formation that appears in neural plates
Neural groove
These structures bound both sides of neural plate
Neural folds
How is the neural tube formed
The neural folds fuse which converts the neural groove into the neural tube
How is the neural crest formed
Lateral margin of neural plate do not get incorporated in neural tube and form a strip of ectodermal cells between the neural tube and covering ectoderm
What do neural crest differentiate into
Posterior roots ganglia sensory ganglia of cranial nerves Autonomic ganglia Cells of suprarenal medulla melanocytes
What does the cephalic ends of the neural tube form after dilatation
Three primary brain vesicles
forebrain vesicles
midbrain vesicles
hidbrsin vesicle
What does the rest of the neural tube form after elongation
Spinal cord
When does myelin sheath start forming
Before birth and first year postnatally
What is the embryonic period
Period Up to ninth week of gestation
What is the fetal period
When external genitalia are distinguishable
At what time does the neural plate form
Third week of life fetal life
From what germ layer does the neural plate forms
The ectodermal surface
What structure are formed from the infolding of the neural plates
The neural tube
the neural crest
What does the neural tube form in the future
The central nervous system
What does the neural crest form in the future
The peripheral nervous system
What do the neuroectodermal cells differentiate into
Neurons e, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells
What’s neurological sells there is derived from the mesoderm
Microglial cells
In what week of fetal life can you see the subdivisions of forebrain midbrain and Hindbrain , the dorsal and ventral horn of the spinal cord , and peripheral and sensory nerves
5th week
When does Myelinization begins and how long does it last
Midgestation and continues for years
When does myelinization of the cortex starts
7 to 8 months Gestation
What nutrients are required for myelinization to occur
Cholesterol
iron
What week of gestation is the gross structure of the nervous system established
Eighth week
Why what month is the behavioral evidence of neural function detectable
The third month
Can physicist respond to external stimuli and if yes by what time
By the third trimester they respond to external stimuli by raising heart rates and having body movements
When do Fetuses open their eyes
By the seventh month
