Trans - Neuroembryology Flashcards
when does the primitive streak appear
day 15
when does the neural tube appear
day 22
when does the neural fold appear
day 20
germ layer precursor of CNS
ectoderm
result of rostral neural tube growth
brain
result of caudal neural tube growth
spinal cord
fusion of the neural folds begins in what region
cervical
what region of the spine is the oldest
cervical spine
neuroectodermal cells that are not incorporated into the tube during the course of development
neural crest cells
neural crest cells may differentiate into:
ganglion cells
ganglion - define
cluster of neuron soma found outside the brain and spinal cord
what neuropore closes first
anterior neuropore
when does the brain have 3 primary segments
3rd week of development
when does the brain have 5 secondary segments
7th week of development
immediate fate of prosencephalon
becomes telencephalon and diencephalon
immediate fate of mesencephalon
remains mesencephalon
immediate fate of rhombencephalon
becomes metencephalon and myelencephalon
precursor of cerebrum
telencephalon
precursor of thalamus and hypothalamus
diencephalon
precursor of midbrain
mesencephalon
precursor of pons and cerebellum
metencephalon
precursor of medulla
myelencephalon
first flexure to appear
cervical flexure
cervical flexure is between
rhombencephalon and spinal cord
cephalic flexure is between
prosencephalon and mesencephalon
how are the cerebral hemispheres formed
evaginations of telencephalon
peak time period of neuronal proliferation
3-4 months into gestation
proliferation starts with what type of cell
primitive ectodermal cell
