Primary vesicles (3)
|
Prosencephalon (forebrain)mesencephalon (midbrain)rhombencephalon (hindbrain)
|
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)
|
1. telencephalon2. diencephalon3. mesencephalon4. metencephalon5. myelencephalon
|
Telencephalon -->
|
Cerebral cortex, basal ganglia
|
Diencephalon -->
|
Thalamus, hypothalamus, retina
|
Mesencephalon -->
|
(midbrain) tectum, tegmentum, cerebral peduncles
|
Metencephalon -->
|
Pons (part of brain stem), cerebellum
|
Myelencephalon -->
|
Medulla (part of brainstem)
|
During 3rd week/ 15th day
|
Neural plate
