Q

what is the distribution of cell bodies within the white matter?

Q

what is an inductive process?

A

takes stem cells and lineage restrictions that give rise to a few types of cells, allowing differentiation

Q

how does the brain of an embryo develop to form the CNS?

A
  • begins as a hollow tube
  • cerebral hemispheres outgrowths on either side from cranial end of tube
  • sweeps over the surface hiding the central core of the developing brain

16
Q

what is the sequence of development starting from a zygote?

A

zygote-blastula-gastrula-3 germ layer-larva

17
Q

where are the embryonic stem cells derived from?

A

the larva stage where they can give rise to any type of cell

18
Q

how does a cell become functional?

A

exits the cell cycle and differentiates

19
Q

what are the 3 germ layers?

A

ectoderm
mesoderm
endoderm

20
Q

explain what happens during neural induction during gastrulation?

A

the dorsal mesoderm migrates abteriorly under the dorsal ectoderm releasing signals to induce the nervous system

21
Q

explain exp of hens and spermann?

A
  • 2 different frog embryos
  • the embryo of the unpigmented donor is transplanted to the pigmented recipient at the same stage of development
  • a second nervous system arose
  • the cells tell other cells to become the nervous system so induce the second nervous system in ventral ectoderm
22
Q

what are the 3 events during neurulation?

A
  1. contact between notochord and future floor plate
  2. folding and delamination of neural crest cells
  3. coverage, notochord deataches, crest migrationa nd roof plate is formed
23
Q

what are the 4 stages that pluripotent ectodermal cells have to pass to become neuronal precursor or progenitor cells and then neurons?

A
  1. competence- they need to receive the inductive signals and become proginetors
  2. specification- stay as progenitors or leave
  3. determination- enter neuronal differentiation pathways(their subtypes have been decided)
  4. differentiation- exit cell cyle and express neuronal genes
24
Q

why are morphogens critical?

A

generates distinct neuronal subtypes in distinct positions in the dorso ventral axis of the neuronal tube

25
Q

what are the 2 ways in which neuronal crest cells migrate?

A
  1. dorsolaterally into ectoderm and continue towards the midline
  2. ventralaterally through the anterior half of each sclerotome
26
Q

what happens to neuronal crest cells that remain in the sclerotome

A

they become dorsal root ganglia BUT

some can continue to produce sympathetic ganglia and adrenal medulla (nerve clusters around the axon)

27
Q

when does the migration of schwann cells stop?

A

when they come in contact with an axon

28
Q

what do neurogulins do?

A

stimulates differentiation and proliferation of schwann cell PRECURSORS
also contribute to survival

29
Q

each dorsal root ganglia is composed of 3 neuronal crest populations what are these:

A
  • one from the opposite side of the anterior somite

- one from the adjacent side of the posterior somite

30
Q

at specific regions of the trunk, neuronal crest cells produce?

A
  • sympathetic ganglion cells

- epinepherin secreting cells of the adrenal medulla
