Q

Neurulation

A

1) Notochord induces ectodermal cells to form neural plate
2) Edges of neural plate become elevated and form neural folds
3) Neural folds come together and fuse to form neural tube
4) Some neural tube cells form several layers called the neural crest
5) Head end of neural tube forms 3 enlarged areas called primary brain vesicles
