Q

Neurulation

A

Neural plate bunches up and begins to fold first into neural groove and then neural tube + production of neural crest cells

Q

How does the neural plate form the neural tube

A

Due to cadherins and their association to the cytoskeleton of the cell

22
Q

Main reason for neural tube formation in that particular pattern

A

Differential expression of cadherin across the plate results in tubular arrangement eventually

23
Q

Neural tube defect

A

Lack of closure of either rostral or caudal neuropore

24
Q

Describe the types of NTDs

A

Spina bifida - occulta

Spina bifida - cystica

25
Q

Spina bifida occulta

A

Failure of vertebral arch to close (problem with laminae) but spinal cord still enclosed within meningeal coverings

26
Q

Spina bifida cystica

A

Outpouching of the dura with or without spinal cord

27
Q

Meningomyelocele

A

Spinal cord + meninges outpouch through opening in vertebral column

28
Q

Myeloschisis

A

absence of proper signaling to form the neural tube

29
Q

Anencephaly

A

failure of rostral neural pore to close

30
Q

Role of apoptosis

A

Needed for neural tube closure in dorsal aspect of tube

31
Q

Paraxial Mesoderm

A

develop into somites

32
Q

Somites

A

Dermatome - dermis
Scleratome - cartilage/bone
Myotome - skeletal muscle

40
Q

Germinal neuroepithelium

A

Pseudostratifed epithelium

41
Q

Mantle zone

A

Germinal neuroepithelium produces neurons = neuroblasts that migrate laterally

42
Q

Ventricular Zone

A

Germinal neuroepithelium becomes the Ventricular Zone and eventually the ependymal lining

43
Q

Marginal zone

A

white matter tracts surrounding the mantle zone

45
Q

Basal plate

A

Motor, ventral portion of developing SC

46
Q

Sulcus limitans

A

dividing line between alar and basal plates

47
Q

Cerebellum formation

A

Alar plate neuroblasts migrate dorsally and fuse in midline - form cerebellar cortex
