Neuroembryology Flashcards
what is neurulation?
refers to the folding process in vertebrate embryos, which includes the transformation of the neural plate into the neural tube.
what is the function of the notochord?
a cartilaginous skeletal rod supporting the body in all embryonic
location of ectoderm and parts?
the outermost layer of cells or tissue of an embryo in early development, or the parts derived from this, which include the epidermis and nerve tissue.
what is the function of the neural plate?
is a key developmental structure that serves as the basis for the nervous system. Opposite the primitive streak in the embryo, ectodermal tissue thickens and flattens to become the
what is the neural groove?
is a shallow median groove of the neural plate between the neural folds of an embryo.
whats is the nueral fold?
fusion in the chick embryo is known to commence in the midbrain region before progressing cranially and caudally to involve the fore- and hindbrain regions, respectively.
