A

At the oropharyageal+cloacal membranes

30
Q

What components make up the tri laminar disk after gastrulation is complete?

A

Dorsal to ventral: ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm with the notochord running through the mesoderm cranial to caudal

31
Q

What happens to the primitive streak as the notochord forms?

A

It regresses.

32
Q

What is the clinical result of failure of primitive streaksí streak regression?

A

Sacrococoygeal teratoma

33
Q

When does neurulation begin and end?

A

Begin at end of 3rd week; resolves by end of 4th week.

34
Q

What directs neurulation?

A

The notochord.

35
Q

Where is neural plate formed?

A

In midline over the notochord, from ectoderm

36
Q

How is the neural tube formed?

A

Dorsal folding of neural plate

37
Q

What occurs as the neural tube closes?

A

Neural crest cells begin migration

38
Q

Name some derivatives of neural crest cells

A

Neuralgia, PNS ganglia, chromaffin cells, melanocytes, odontocytes, cardiac septa, branchial arches of head and neck

39
Q

How is the neural plate formed?

A

The notochord prompts thickening of midline ectoderm into neuroectoderm

40
Q

Underlying _______ expands to raise neural _____, forming the neural ______

A

Mesoderm; folds; groove

41
Q

What structure is formed by the fusion of neural fold crests around the neural groove?

A

Neural tube

42
Q

What specialized layer lines the neural tube and what will it derive?

A

Neuroectoderm => nervous system

43
Q

What is the derivitive of the ectoderm overlying the dorsal aspect and neural tube?

A

Skin

44
Q

From what are the neural crest cells derived?

A

Dorsal neuroectoderm

45
Q

Why are nc cells also called ectomesenchyme?

A

They are neuroectoderm cells that transform to migrate

46
Q

What region closes first during neurulation?

A

Occipitoervical, then cranial neuropore on day 25

47
Q

What type of tissue makes up the near epithelium?

A

Pseudo-stratified

48
Q

What occurs in the first differentiation wave of neuroepithelium histo-genesis

A

Neurons migrate externally where somas form the mantle layer and axons project externally(becomes grey matter) to form the marginal layer(becomes white matter)

49
Q

What occurs in the second differentiation wave of neuroepithelium histo-genesis

A

Glioblasts form the astrocytes and oligodendrocytes of CNS

50
Q

What occurs in the third differentiation wave of neuroepithelium histo-genesis

A

Ependyma remain deep to line ventricles and central canal

51
Q

PNS; satellite cells, schwan cells, neurons

52
Q

Neuroepithelial cells NS derivatives

A

CNS; neurons, glioblasts of CNS, ependymal cells

53
Q

What is formation and role of roof plate?

A

Formation induced by surface ectoderm; root plate secretes BMP, promoting dorsalization

54
Q

Describe role + formation of floor plate?

A

Formation induced by notochord(which is ventral to neural tube); floor plate secretes shh which promotes centralization
