Describe the formation of the Neural tube

A
  • Blastula forms
  • Inner cell mass forms bilaminar disc
  • Notochord forms, giving the trilminar disc an axis
  • Notochord makes the ectoderm thicker and causes an invagination which we call the neural groove
  • Neural groove migrates further diwn and separates from the ectoderm, forming the neural tube
