27
Q

Maturation of the Brain

A

Maturation of the Brain involves growth of neural tissue and reduction in size of the ventricles

Development of white matter occurs as axons extend and become myelinated organizing into tracts

Myelination creates white matter

A

Peripheral nervous system and most of associated sensory structures derived from here and placodes

29
Q

Olfactory placodes

A

Olfactory receptor cells are derived from here

Induced to form metencephalon and develop into sensory cells of the trigeminal ganglion- touch of the face

31
Q

Epibranchial placodes

33
Q

Origin and derivatives of the neural crest

A

Neural crest from neural ectoderm

34

Form cranioofacial mesenchyme that enters branchial arches and differentiates into cartilage, bone and connective tissue

V, VII, IX, X

35
Q

Trunk neural crest

A

Dorsolateral- pigment synthesizing melanocytes in skin, hair or feathers

Migrate ventrally and become sensory neurons of dorsal root ganglion, Schwann cells, chromaffin, and neurons around aorta

36
