The Nervous System Flashcards
What are the 3 germ layers?
Ectoderm
Mesoderm
Endoderm
- From day 15 to end of eighth week
- Organs are formed.
Embryonic stage
- End of eight week until birth
- Nervous system develops more fully; myelination begins.
Fetal stage
this germ layer develops into sensory organs , epidermis, and nervous system
Ectoderm
this germ layer develops into dermis, muscles, skeleton, and excretory and circulatory systems
Mesoderm
this germ layer gives rise to epithelia and glands (GI tract, respiratory tract, and genitourinary tract
Endoderm
formation of the neural tube and happen between day 18-26
Neurulation
What are the two layers called that the neural tube differentiates into during day 26?
Mantle layer
Marginal layer
inner layer contains cell bodies; will become gray matter
Mantle layer
outer layer contains processes of cells whose bodies are located in inner layer; will become white matter
Marginal layer
What do the cranial part of the neural tube form?
brain
What do the caudal part of the neural tube form?
spinal cord
What do the central cavity of the neural tube form?
- ventricles of the brain
- central canal of the spinal cord
What are the groups of cells?
ventral and dorsal
dorsal cell group that has sensory neurons
Alar plate
ventral cell group that has motor neurons
Basal plate
What is formed when the motor and sensory nerves merge?
Spinal nerve
What kind of nerves are formed by the spinal nerve?
Mixed nerves
What are the two neurons that the brain is divided into?
Afferent neurons
Efferent neurons
neurons that carry information from sensory receptors of the skin and other organs to the central nervous system
Afferent neurons
neurons that carry motor information away from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body
Efferent neurons
What are the 5 developmental regions of the brain (secondary brain vesicles)?
Telencephalon
Diencephalon
Mesencephalon
Metencephalon
Myelencephalon
flexure between the forebrain and midbrain
Cephalic flexure
flexure between the hindbrain and spinal cord
Cervical flexure
flexure between the metencephalon and mylencephalon
Pontine Flexure
What are the 3 primary brain vesicles?
Forebrain
Midbrain
Hindbrain
Name the two regions that the brain is divided into
Neurocranium
Viscerocranium
What are the 4 arches that the ventral part of the forming head expand into?
Arch 1
Arch 2
Arch 3
Arch 4 and 6
What cranial nerve is arch 1 innervated by?
cranial verve 5 “ trigeminal” - muscles of mastication
What cranial nerve is arch 2 innervated by?
cranial nerve 7 “Facial” - muscles of facial expression
What cranial nerve is arch 3 innervated by?
cranial nerve 9 “glossopharyngeal” - gives rise to the stylopharyngeus muscle
What cranial nerve is arch 4 & 6 innervated by?
cranial nerve 10 “vagus” - gives rise to the internal muscles of the soft palate
What type of nerves innervate the arches?
cranial nerves
the skeletal muscle of the head and deep neck that form within the arches is classified as what?
pharyngeal (branchial) arch muscles
What does the neurocranium region of the brain form?
- form around the neural tube (future brain)
- form protective case for the brain
What does the viscerocranium region of the brain form?
- forms around the endoderm tube
- forms the visceral components of the head (mouth, nasal cavity, and pharynx)
- forms the skeleton of the face and skull
What are the functions of the adult nervous system?
- functions to detect changes in the internal/external environment
- brings about the appropriate responses in muscles, organs, and glands
What are the components of the adult nervous system?
- neurons
- neuroglia
Sequence of events following stimulation of a sensory receptor:
Do neuroglial cells transport or process information?
No
What are the 3 main types of glia?
- oligodendrocytes
- astrocytes
- microglia
