(1st step of nervous system development)
,What is the 2nd step of nervous system development? ANS -Cell proliferation within the nerual tube
What is the 3rd step of nervous system development? ANS -Migration and aggregation of cells within
definitive locations

On day 14, the embryo undergoes gasturlation and forms the building blocks of our nervous system.
What are the 3 parts to this ? ANS -Ectoderm
Mesoderm
Endoderm
The entire nervous system is derived from what structure? ANS -Embryonic ectoderm

Notochord
Neural tube
The nerual crest cells form most of what nervous system? ANS -Peripheral nervous system
,What are some deficits or concerns of embryological development of the nervous system? ANS -Failure
of posterior neruopore to close- spina bifida
Failure of anterior neruopore to close- anencephaly
What is anencephaly? ANS -Failure of anterior neruopore to close during embryological development
Describe the subdivisions, derivates and cavities of the prosencephalon, that develops during stage 1;
neurulation ANS -Subdivisions: Telencephalon and Diencephalon
Derivates --> Cavities:
Rhinoencephalon --> Lateral ventrical
Thalmus, hypothalmus, optic nerves, neruophyophysis, pineal gland --> third ventricle
Describe the subdivisions, derivates and cavities of the mesencephalon, that develops during stage 1;
neurulation ANS -Subdivisions: Mesencephalon
Derivates: Midbrain
Cavities: Cerebral aquaduct
Describe the subdivisions, derivates and cavities of the rhombencephalon, that develops during stage 1;
neurulation ANS -Subdivisions: Metencephalon and Myelencephalon
Derivates: Cerebellum, pons and medula
Cavities: Fourth ventricle
, Describe the subdivisions, derivates and cavities of the primitve nerual tube, that develops during stage
1; neurulation ANS -Subdivisions: Neural crest and tube
What are the 2 primary flexures that help contain and align the neural tube within the closed skull ANS -
Cephalic flexure (1st to develop)
Cervical flexure (2nd to develop)
What divides the neural tube into a ventral and dorsal half? ANS -Sulcus limitans
What is the dorsal portion of the neural tube called when the sulcus limitans divides the tube in half
during cell proliferation? ANS -Alar plate
The alar plate is the future site for what tracts? ANS -Sensory neurons and tracts
What is the ventral portion of the neural tube called when the sulcus limitans divides the tube in half
during cell proliferation? ANS -Basilar plate
(future site for efferent more portion)
What are the 3 layers the neural tube divides into during cell proliferation? ANS -Ependymal or germinal
layer (lining of central canal and ventricles)
Intermediate or mantle layer
(gray matter of spinal cord)
