Q

what are the 3 primary brain vesicles, found at the cranial end of the neural tube?

A
  1. forebrain (prosencephalon)
  2. midbrain (mesencephalon)
  3. hindbrain (rombencephalon)
  • the caudal continuation of these 3 is the spinal cord
  • this is until the 5th week, after which these primary brain vesicles transform to secondary vesicles.
