51
Q

Induction of the Nervous System

A

52
Q

Induction

A

Organisms are formed by interactions between cells and tissues
When one group of cells/tissues causes another set of cells/tissues to change their fate is called this.

Q

GDFs

A

59
Q

Neurulation

A

Q

4 Steps to Neurulation

A
  1. Thickening of the neural plate
  2. Formation of the neural folds and groove
