Neurulation Flashcards
Is the fifth and last stage of early embryonic development
Neurulation
Neurulation characterize by the following:
- Formation of the central nucleus system
- Formation of the head process
- The initial development of the gut
- Formation of somite
- Initial development of the heart
Is the result of the thickening of the surface ectodermal cells along the dorsal midline of the embryonic disk overlying the notochord
Neural plate
The neural plate becomes depressed to form
Neural groove
The edges of the neural plate becomes raises or elevated to form
Neural folds
Fuse dorsally to form the _______ with a lumen (______) and wall (_________).
Neural tube
Neural canal
Neuroepithelium
The extreme anterior and posterior ends of the neural tube ramain open and are termed __________ and _______ respectively.
Anterior neuropore, posterior neuropore
Proliferate and assume a position dorsolateral to the neural tube to form the
Neural crest
Those in the head region form mesenchyme (___________) that becomes the meninges, bone, fascia and teeth.
Ectomesenchyme
During the formation of the neural tube, the cephalic region of the embryo begins to elevate above the surface of the embryonic disk and elongate rostrally to form the
Head process
The first gut tube that is formed is the
Foregut
Most rostral tip eventually becomes the
Pharynx
At this stage of development the foregut opens caudally into the ____________ ( in birds) and _________( in mammals) through the cranial (anterior) intestinal portal.
Subgerminal cavity, archenteron
Rostral to the notochord, mesenchyme forms less developed somites called
Somitomeres
Migrate to form the skin dermis
Dermatome
