Physio II Lecture IA Flashcards
Stages in neural tube development
- Neural Plate
- Neural folds
- Neural tube
Time line for the formation of nervous system occurs during what embryonic stage?
End of second week to end of eighth week
What are the subdivisions of cranial end of neural tube
Pentapartite brain and tripartite brain
Tripartite brain is made up of what?
Prosencephalon
Mesencephalon
and Rhombencephalon
What do the three parts of the growing pentapartite brain divide into?
Prosencephalon into->telencephalon (most anterior) and diencephalon
Mesencehpalon: does not divide
rhombosephlon divides into -> metencephalon and myelencephalon
Where is the cerebral aquaduct?
between the third and fourth ventricle
What are the parts of the telencephalon primordia?
Lumina-lateral ventricles I and II
Floor-basal ganglia (nuclei) and olfactory lobes and nerves - tracts
Roof-cerebral hemispheres
What are the parts of the diencephalon primorida?
Lumen….third ventricle
roof. ..epithalamus
walls. …thalamus
floor. …hypothalamus and infundibulum
What are the parts of the mesencephalon primordia?
Lumen….cerebral aqueduct (of Sylvius)
Roof=tectum: superior and inferior colliculi
Floor…tegmentum
What are the parts of the metencephalon primordia?
Lumen-part of the forth ventricle
Roof- cerebellum
Floor-pons
What are the parts of the myelencephalon primordia?
Lumen-rest of fourth ventricle
Main part - medulla oblongata
Roof- posterior choroid plexus
What is the myelencephalon’s main part, the medulla oblongata, composed of?
Nuclei, pyramids, olives, vital reflex centers, and various nonvital centers
What does the myelencephalon medulla nuclei make up?
Vestibular nuclear complex
Sensory nuclei
Portions of reticular formation
What do myelencephalon medulla pyramids consist of?
Lateral corticospinal tracts
What are the myelencephalon medulla olives the site of?
Site of nuclei related to cerebellum
Metencephalon pons nuclei makes up what?
- Cranial nerve nuclei V-VII
2. Pontine nuclei: Relay between cerebrum and cerebellum
What do the metencephalon centers make up?
Sleep center
Respiratory centers
The mesencephalon tectum (roof) consists of what?
Superior colliculi (visual reflexes) Inferior colliculi (auditory and olfactory reflexes)
What does the cerebellum have?
Has a cortex
What are the functions of the cerebellum?
Coordinate skeletal muscle movement
Maintain equilibrium and posture
Synergic control of muscle activity
