Embryology II Flashcards
Neurulation, Folding, and Development of the Nervous System
After the notochordal process approaches the prechordal
plate, the floor of the process “fuses” with the endoderm it is now called ___
notochordal plate
what is the opening that allows communication between the amniotic cavity and the umbilical vesicle
neurenteric canal
the neurenteric canal is formed where the ____ opened into the notochordal canal
primitive pit
the notochordal plate progress to the ____
notochord
which direction does the notochord transition go from
cranially –> caudally
when is there no longer a neurenteric canal
after full development of the notochord
notochordal plate cells proliferate and fold
inwards, forming the fully-developed ___
notochord
The notochord is no longer a ___ canal
hollow
what is between the notochord and the umbilical vesicle
embryonic endoderm
the ectoderm above the notochord develops into ___
neural plate
what is the stop signal for notochord development anteriorly
prechordal plate
what develops into the oropharyngeal membrane
prechordal plate
what is special about the oropharyngeal and cloacal membranes
they only have ecto and endoderm layers
what does the cloacal membrane become
anus
Small, vascularized diverticulum (outpouching) from the caudal wall of umbilical vesicle, extending into connecting stalk
allantois
what day is the allantois formed
day 18
Allantois functions in development of what
early blood formation
bladder development
uranchus
what does the uranchus become in adults
median umbilical ligament
Notochord induces overlying ectoderm to form
the neural plate is what process
neurulation
what is special about neuroectodermal cells
tall and columnar
what does the neuroectoderm give rise to
CNS
retina
other tissues from neural crest
on day __ the neural plate invaginates to form the neural groove – neural folds are found on either side of the groove
18
the neural tube is formed by ____ fusing together
neural folds
the neural tube is primordium of what
CNS
when does neurulation end
when the tube is completely closed
end of week 4
which direction do the neural crest cells migrate
dorso-laterally
what CN ganglia do neural crest cells help develop
CN V, VII, IX, X
what NS do the neural crest cells help develop
Autonomic nervous system ganglia
