Prosencephalon -->
1. telencephalon2. diencephalon
Mesencephalon -->
Mesencephalon
Rhombencephalon -->
1. metencephalon2. myelencephalon
There are 2 flexures/bends in the human neural tube..
1. cervical flexure2. cephalic flexure (mesencephalic flexure)
Cervical flexure
-locate between rhombencephalon and spinal cord -DNE in adults
Cephalic flexure
-in mesencephalon-exists in adults as the bend between the brainstem and the forebrain
5 secondary vesicles are formed... (when?)
During 5th week after fertilization
5 secondary vesicles (names)
