Neurology - The Basics Flashcards
neural plate gives rise to
neural tube
neural crest cells
notochord becomes _______ in adults
nucleus pulposus of intervertebral disk
alar plate (dorsal)
sensory
basal plate (ventral)
motor
forebrain
(prosencephalon)
which secondary vesicles?
telencephalon
diencephalon
midbrain
(mesencephalon)
which secondary vesicle?
mesencephalon
hindbrain
(rhombencephalon)
which secondary vesicles?
metencephalon
myelencephalon
telencephalon becomes
cerebral hemispheres
lateral ventricles
diencephalon becomes
thalamus
third ventricle
mesencephalon becomes
midbrain
aqueduct
metencephalon becomes
pons
cerebellum
upper part 4th ventricle
myelencephalon becomes
medulla
lower part 4th ventricle
neural tube defects
neuropores fail to fuse - 4th week, so amniotic cavity and spinal canal connected
elevated AFP
elevated AChE
spina bifida occulta
bony spinal canal doesn’t close
no structural herniation
dura intact
tuft of hair
meningocele
meninges, not spinal cord, herniate through spinal cord defect
