Q

Gastrulation

A

a phase early in embryonic development during which the single-layered blastula of the embryo is reorganized into a trilaminar (three-layered)

begins with the formation of the primitive streak

Q

Primitive streak

A

13-14 days
area of active cell migration, cells start to migrate inward–>forms the 3 layers
–> invagination

can see a streak between amnion and yolk sac

Q

Neurulation

A

day 16-18
=the formation of the NEURAL TUBE

starts with the notochord release factors that start the process of CNS development -neural induction

begins with the formation of the NEURAL PLATE

Q

Neurulation accomplishes 3 major things in higher vertebraes:

A

1: creates the NEURAL TUBE- which gives rise CNS
2: creates the NEURAL CREST- which migrates away from the dorsal surface of the neural tube, and gives rise to a diverse set of cell types- forms the PNS
3: creates the epidermis-which covered over the neural tube once it is created

Q

Neural induction

A

notacord releases a substance that induces the NS to start forming

(part of mesoderm creates notochord–> becomes nucleus propulsus later in life)

Q

neural tube process

A

1: neural plate around 18 days
cells divide in ectoderm at different rates

2: neural groove
plate begins to invaginate into the ectoderm
as cells divide faster there is no room so it goes deeper

3: neural tube
* notocord develops

Q

embryo at 20 days

picture slide 8

A

neuro tube is like a cylinder
ectoderm develops at different speeds; faster at periphery and slower medially- causes invagination in center (ventrally toward yolk sac)

bumps/ribs on side are the mesoderm (it grows around the NS like how the vertebrae surround the spinal cord)

Q

embryo at 24 days

picture slide 10

A

Neural tube is complete! (except for the ends)
functioning nervous system!

lumen in middle will form ventricle system (heart)

neural tube will form brain stem, spinal cord and cerebrum

cerebrum>brain stem>SC (SC develops slowest, simplest- most undifferentiated)

Prosencephalon-forebrain- thalamus, cerebrum- divides into 2 parts

Mesencephalon- midbrain (ie brain stem)

2: telencephalic vesicle

23
Q

Mesencephalon=

A

midbrain- brain stem

24
Q

Rhombencephalon=

A

hindbrain- pons and medulla

25
Q

Secondary vesicle stage

A

~42 days
spinal nerves growing into each somite (PNS)

prosencephalon divides:

1: diencephalon- thalamus
2: telencephalon

mesencephalon- midbrain

metencephalon- pons and cerebellum

myelencephalon- medulla oblongata

cephalic flexure is the only one that doesn’t disappear in adulthood?

26
Q

CNS at 3 months..

A

adult looking NS (cerebrum, cerebral hemispheres, diencephalon, midbrain, cerebellum, medulla and SC) but still smooth and continues to develop

3 months=peak time of neuron cell division (can’t get bigger w/out invaginating on itself –>sulci)

27
Q

cell proliferation is at its peak at?

A

3 months and slows down rapidly at 6 months

neurons still divide until birth but rate has declined dramatically

28
Q

cell hypertrophy is at its peak at?

A

6 months

Q

A

sulci get more surface area but still relatively smooth

neuron division slows
glia cells at their peak division rate
