Nervous System Development (don't need to study) Flashcards
Neural tube formation
Neural plate becomes elevated forming neural folds around neural groove
Two folds meet and fuse forming the neural tube surrounding the ventricular lumen
Neural tube subdivisions
Spinal cord, rhombencephalon, mesencephalon, and prosencephalon
Pro to diencephalon and telencephalon
Rhumb to metencephalon and myelencephalon
Brainstem
Metencephalon and mesencephalon and myelencephalon
Forebrain
Diencephalon and telencephalon
Spinal cord development
Neuroepithelial cells proliferate in walls of neural tube so ventricular lumen thins
Neurons, oligodendroglial, or astroglial cells within mantle layer
Ventricular zone is continued proliferation
Ependymal layer
When neuroepithelial see and ventricular layer forms into this layer which lines lumen of adult brain and choroid plexus of epithelium
Microglia
Mesenchymal derivatives that migrate into the CNS and function as macrophages
Oligodendroglia
Wrap myelin around CNS axons
Astroglia
Regulate extra cellular environment around neurons
Marginal zone
Future site of ascending and descending axons
Outer zone
Sulcus limitans
Longitudinal sulcus which delineates boundary between alar plate (dorsal horn) and basal plate (ventral)
Neural tube closure
Neural crest found between roof and overlying surface ectoderm
Transform into dorsal root ganglia neurons, autonomic ganglia neurons and Schwann cells
Dorsal root ganglion cells
Contain sensory neurons
Ventral roots
Axons of motor neurons exit spinal cord as this
Spinal nerves
Formed when ventral roots become bundled together with peripheral processes of dorsal root ganglia
Peripheral nerves mixed in a bundle
Ganglion
Collection of neuron cell bodies outside CNS
Nucleus
Collection of neuron cell bodies located inside CNS
Myelencephalon
Becomes medulla of adult brain
Neural tube closes and walls separate at the roof which then is Pia and ependyma
Sulcus limitans
Boundary between basal plate and alar plate which process motor and sensory respectively
Basal plate
Nearest to sulcus are visceral efferent and farthest are somatic efferent
Alar plate
Centra provesses of visceral afferent are nearest the sulcus and somatic afferents are furthest
Basal plate nerves
Trigeminal
Diencephalon
Original termination at lamina terminal is
Pineal gland
Develops as an outgrowth of the roof of the diencephalon
Telencephalon
Lateral outpocketing from either side of the lamina terminalis created paired lateral ventricles
Radial glial fibers guide migrations
Developing nervous system
Initial overproduction of neurons followed by cell death 50-80% same with synaptic connections
