ORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT Flashcards
Central Nervous System (CNS)
consists of?
is developed from?
CNS consists of the
BRAIN + SPINAL CORD
CNS is develop from the
NEURAL TUBE
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (PNS)
consists of ?
derives from?
neurons which axons grow out of neural tube
+
neurons derived from neural crest
PNS
which neurons are derived from neural tube?
skeletal motor neurons
+
preganglionic autonomic neurons
PNS are formed by 12 pairs of cranial nerves and 30 pairs of spinal nerves
TRUE OR FALSE?
FALSE
cranial nerves - 12 pairs
spinal nerves - 31 pairs
PNS
which strutures are derived from neural crest cells ?
sensory neurons
+
postganglionic autonomic neurons
(cell bodies are found in ganglia)
+
Chromaffi cells
(neural crest cell migrate into the adrenal mdulla to form postganglionic sympathetic neurons)
Neurulation begins in the …
(week)
THIRD WEEK
CNS and PNS derived from …
ecto, meso or endoderm?
ECTODERM
(neuroectoderm)
notochord overlying ectoderm to form the neural plate (neuroectoderm)
WHEN and HOW neural tube is formed?
By the end of the THIRD WEEK
+
neural folds grow over mildline and fuse
Neural crest cells also formed from neuroectoderm
TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE
during the closure of neural folds, neural crest cells are formed
Neural tube closuring
rostral neuropore closes at …
caudal neuropore closes at…
ROSTRAL
day 25
CAUDAL
day 27
Failure to close
rostral consequences …
caudal consequences…
+
substances increase ?
ROSTRAL
anencephaly (polyhydramios)
CAUDAL
spina bifida
+
ALPHAFETOPROTEIN and AChE are increased
Alphafetoprotein may also be elevated in…
Gastroschisis and omphalocele
AFP levels are low in pregnancy of Down syndrome fetus
NEURAL TUBE
the sequence is TRUE or FALSE?
3 primary vesicles –> 5 primary vesicles –> brain and spinal cord
TRUE
NEURAL TUBE
alar plate = motor
basal plate = sensory
TRUE OR FALSE?
FALSE
alar plate (sensory) and basal plate (motor) are separated by sulcus limitans
NEURAL TUBE
3 primary vesicles?
