Q

What cavity derivates form from the myelencephalon?

A

Lower part of 4th ventricle/ central canal

17
Q

Out of which layer does the notochord form?

A

Mesoderm

18
Q

What does the notochord secrete and why?

A

Growth factors which stimulate the differentiation of the overlying ectoderm into neuroectoderm forming the neural plate

19
Q

What is the neural crest?

A

Some cells within the neural folds that migrate to form the neural crest

20
Q

What cells form from the neural crest?

A

Melanocytes, craniofacial cartilage and bone, smooth muscle, peripheral and enteric neurons and glia

21
Q

What is neurulation?

A

The formation of the neural tube

22
Q

When does neuralation occur?

A
