Neurulation & Neural Crest Flashcards
gastrulation
the formation of the 3 primary germ layers
3 parts of the primitive streak
primitive knot
primitive groove
primitive pit
the neural plate will form the ______ by releasing ____
central nervous system
sonic hedgehog
somites
come from the paraxial mesoderm
- form the myotome, sclerotome, and dermatome
intermediate mesoderm becomes the
urogenital system including kidneys and gonads, ducts, and accessory glands
lateral plate mesoderm becomes ____
connective tissue
- blood
- lymph
- mesenteries
- cardiovascular
surface ectoderm becomes
hair, skin, nails, mammary glands, teeth enamel, internal ear, lens of eye
primary neurulation
the neural plate folds in and closes; the closing of the rostral neuropore
- occurs at around day 25
- closure of brain, cervical, thoracic, and lumbar portions of spinal cord
secondary neurulation
caudal eminence fuses with posterior neuropore to form the sacral and coccyx part of the spinal cord
- hollow tube is formed
neural crest cells
found in the cranial and trunk regions; give rise to sensory neurons only
- spinal ganglia
- autonomic ganglia
- cranial nerves 5, 7, 9, 10
neurilemma
supporting cells arising from the neural crest; the schwann cels; they myelinate the neurons in the peripheral nervous system
leptomeninges
supporting cells arising from the neural crest; the pia and dura mater
ectomesenchyme
arises from neural crest
- bone and cartilage of facial skeleton
- walls of large arteries from aortic arches
- enamel and dentin
Hirschsprung’s disease
type of trunk neural crest defect; megacolon - autonomic system does not innervate the colon so infants cannot defecate
aorticopulmonary septation defects of the heart can be caused by what neural crest defect
cranial
cleft lip and/or cleft palate can be caused by what neural crest defect
cranial
