Q

cytokinesis

48
Q

Neurulation

A
  • The process begins when the notochord induces the formation of the central nervous system by signaling the ectoderm germ layer above it to form the thick and flat neural plate. The neural plate folds in upon itself to form the neural tube, which will later differentiate into the spinal chord and the brain, forming the CNS
