A

ventrally

31
Q

The midline roof plate and floor plate do not contain __________ and instead serve as pathways for _____________

A

neuroblasts; crossing fibers

32
Q

The notochord, which is responsible for secreting ____________ determines where it has the most influence

A

sonic hedgehog

33
Q

What happens if there is no notochord

A

no motor neurons form

34
Q

What happens if the notochord is transplanted

A

there would be a formation of an ectopic floor plate with associated motor neurons
