43
notochord is the basis for development of the ____
skeleton
44
notochord process fuses with underlying embryonic mesoderm, which degenerates so that ...
notochord is in contact with yolk sac, creating the notochordal plate
45
notochordal plate infolds to form the ____, inducing the formation of the ____ ____
notochord neural plate
46
formation of neural plate, neural folds, and closure of neural folds
neurulation
47
when does neurulation occur?
during 4th week
48
what is the embryo called during neurulation?
neurula
49
how does the neural plate form? what does it become?
embryonic ectoderm thickens over notochord CNS
50
how does the neural tube form?
neural groove forms from a depression in neural plate neural folds approximate, separating surface from embryonic ectoderm
51
failure of caudal neuropore to close is called
spina bifida
51
neural folds are the first sign of what?
brain development
52
failure of cranial neuropore to close is called
anencephaly
53
what does the neural crest form from? what happens to it?
