Embryology of CNS & PNS Flashcards
developing egg
oocyte
cellular process that replicates chromosomes and produces two identical nuclei in preparation for cell division
mitosis
gastrulation
formation of germ layers
formation of endoderm and ectoderm
by 2nd week
mesoderm bw/ ect and end
by 3rd week
future center where the sc and bs line up
notocord
where does the CNS form from
neural fold, deepens and pinches off form the outside
what is the neural fold made of
tube of ectoderm
creates the outer skin layers, nervous system and sense organs
ectoderm
are the outer and inner ear made of ectoderm?
YES
Makes skeletal structures, circulatory structures, meninges, notochord, reproductive organs and cartilage
mesoderm
what are the ossicles and temporal bone made of
mesoderm
what do we have in avs that uses air?
ET (air to nasopharynx), middle ear and mastoid air cells
air filled spaces for tubes related to our ear come from endoderm
makes the digestive canal and respiratory organs (viscera)
endoderm
what are the middle ear, mastoid cavities and ET made of?
endoderm
can genetic issues only affect one germ layer and not the others
yes
when is it called an embryo
first 8 weeks
when does it turn to a fetus
when it forms human type shape
what occurs in the 3rd week of CNS development
ectoderm neural placode, folds, then groove at dorsal midline
how does the neural tube fuse?
zips in both caudal and rostral directions
which end of the neural tube fuses first
rostral does 2 days before caudal
what is the superior opening of the neural tube
cranial/rostral neuropore
what is the inferior opening of the neural tube
caudal neuropore
crest cells left behind by each neural fold makes
form things in PNS (sensory neurons of dorsal root ganglia, some CN’s, schwann cells, etc.)
what are ectodermal placodes
specialized regions of cranial ectoderm that create special sense organs and majority of the sensory neurons in the head
separates the neural tube into dorsal half and ventral half
sulcus limitans
primarily sensory
alar/dorsal plate (dorsal horns)
derivatives are motor
basal/ventral plate (ventral horns)
do alar and basal separation continue in the BS?
yes
sensory area of skin supplied by a single afferent spinal nerve and by afferents of cranial nerve V
dermatome
failure of caudal neuropore to close
spina bifida
spina bifida can lose
sensory and motor function at and below level of lesion
what is the least severe type of SB
Oculta
this SB is marked with a tuft of hair over it
oculta
is SB Oculta protected?
no, vertebrae is not covering the area just skin
