Lecture 1A Flashcards
Time line for the formation of nervous system occurs during what embryonic stage:
End of second week to end of eighth week
Stages in Neural Tube Development
1st. Neural Plate 2nd. Neural folds 3rd. Neural tube
What are the subdivisions of cranial end of neural tube?
pentapartite brain and tripartite brain
tripartite brain is made up of
Prosencephalon Mesencephalon and Rhombencephalon
What do the three parts of the growing pentapartite brain divide into?
Prosencephalon into->telencephalon (most anterior) and diencephalon mesencephalon: does not divide rhombosephlon divides into -> metencephalon and myelencephalon
Where is the cerebral aquaduct?
between the third and fourth ventricle
What are the parts of the Telencephalon Primordia?
Lumina-Lateral Ventricles I and II Floor-Basal ganglia (nuclei) and olfactory lobes and nerves- tracts Roof-cerebral hemispheres
What are the parts of the diencephalon primorida?
lumen… third ventricle roof…epithalamus walls… thalamus floor… hypothalamus and infundibulum
What are the parts of the mesencephalon primordia?
lumen… cerebral aqueduct (of Sylvius) roof=tectum: superior and inferior colliculi floor…tegmentum
What are the parts of the metencephalon primorida?
lumen- part of forth ventricle roof- cerebellum floor- pons
What are the parts of the myelencephalon primorida?
lumen- rest of fourth ventricle main part- medulla oblongata roof- posterior choroid plexus
What is the Myelencephalon’s main part, the Medulla oblongata, composed of?
nuclei Pyramids Olives Vital reflex centers Various nonvital centers
What does the myelencephalon medulla nuclei make up?
Vestibular nuclear complex Sensory nuclei Portions of reticular formation
What do myelencephalon medulla pyramids consist of?
Lateral corticospinal tracts
What is the Myelencephalon medulla olives the site of?
Site of nuclei related to cerebellum
Metencephalon Pons Nuclei makes up what?
- cranial nerve nuclei V-VII 2. Pontine nuclei: Relay between cerebrum and cerebellum
What do the Mesencephalon Centers make up?
Sleep center respiratory centers
The Mesencephalon Tectum (Roof) consists of what?
Superior colliciuli (visual refelxes) Inferior colliculi (auditory and olfactory reflexes)
What does the cerebellum have?
Has a cortex
What are the functions of cerebellum?
coordinate skeletal muscle movement maintain equilibrium and posture synergic control of muscle activity (other muscles are quieted to help other muscles do their job)
What is the diencephalon thalamus?
major relay center for afferenet and efferent informaiton to and from cerebrum and other areas of the brain… olfactory does not pass through
