Neurulation Flashcards
1
Q
derivatives of ectoderm
A
- results from neurulation and subsequent development
2
Q
ectoderm structures : surface ectoderm
A
- epidermis
- lens, cornea
- anterior pituitary
3
Q
ectoderm structures: neural crest
A
- peripheral nervous system
- facial cartilage
4
Q
ectoderm structures: neural tube
A
- brain
- neural pituitary
- spinal cord
- retina
5
Q
draw neural tube formation
A
–
6
Q
neural tube formation
A
- cell shape and adhesion changes
- see figure
7
Q
early shaping of neural tube
A
- morphological manifestation of segmentation in the development of the CNS
- 3 part to 5 part brain
- prosencephalon divides into telencephalon and diencephalon
- mesencephalon divides into myelen, meten and mesen.
8
Q
telencephalon
A
- cerebrum
9
Q
diencephalon
A
- optic vesicle
10
Q
mesencephalon
A
- midbrain
11
Q
metencephalon
A
- cerebellum
12
Q
myelencephalon
A
- medulla
13
Q
neuromeres
A
- the segments of the neural tube that establish the embryonic brain during development
14
Q
neural tube formation and patterning
A
- gradient of BMP determines if ectoderm will be neural or not…
- low BMP = neural plate
- medium = neural border
- high BMP = non neural ectoderm
15
Q
Neural induction
A
- BMP gradient
- BMP inhibits neural formation
- BMP antagonists inhibit BMP (chordin, noggin)
