neuro Flashcards
what causes differentiation of ectoderm –> neuroectoderm?
notochord (mesoderm)
what does the neural plate –> ?
neural tube
neural crest cells
alar vs basal plate?
alar = dorsal = sensory basal = ventral = motor
primary vesicles of brain?
forebrain = prosencephalon midbrain = mesencephalon hindbrain = rhombencephalon
secondary vesicles of brain?
forebrain –> telencephalon, diencephalon
midbrain –> mesencephalon
hindbrain –> metencephalon, myelencephalon
derivatives of telencephalon?
cerebral hemispheres
lateral ventricles
derivatives of diencephalon?
thalamus
third ventricle
derivatives of mesencephalon?
midbrain
aqueduct
derivatives of metencephalon?
pons
cerebellum
upper part of fourth ventricle
derivatives of myelencephalon?
medulla
lower part of fourth ventricle
derivatives of neuroectoderm?
CNS neurons
ependymal cells
oligodendroglia
astrocytes
derivatives of neural crest?
PNS
Schwann cells
neurological derivatives of mesoderm?
microglia
notochord –> nucleus pulposus
when should the neuropores of the NT fuse?
4th week
NT defects - cause, dx?
cause: low folic acid intake
dx: increased AFP (amniotic fluid and maternal serum); increased AChE in amniotic fluid
