Q

Neurulation

A
  • folding of ectoderm on each side of primitive spinal cord to form a tube from hind brain to S2
  • before gestational day 28
  • most of spina bifida is from problems with neurulation

Q

Canalization

A
  • nerve cells form to become distal end of SC
  • caudal to S2
  • impairments cause skin covered meningoceles and lipomas of SC distal to L3
