FETAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT

QUESTIONS:
1. What tube ultimately forms the brain?
2. What layer lines the central canal?
3. ___ develops into the cerebellum, which manages balance and coordination.
4-6. What are the three mentioned neural tube defects?
7. What is the simple structure that folds in to form the neural tube?
8-10. It is mentioned that the brain divides in three parts; what are those three parts?
11. What is Fetal nervous system development?
12. Why brain tube should be closed and fused by 28th day following conception?
13. What is the function of nervous system in fetal development?
14. What is fetal nervous system made up of?
15. What are the 3 layers of spinal cord?
ANSWERS:

1. Neural tube
2. Ventricular layer
3. The hindbrain
4-6. Spina Bifida, Anencephaly, Encepholocele
7. Neural groove
8-10. Forebrain, Midbrain, Hindbrain
11. A basic structure termed the "neural groove" forms the beginning of a developing fetus's
central nervous system before folding into the "neural tube."
12. If it will not closed there will be neural tube defect.
13. The nervous system begins to function as early during prenatal life is demonstrated only by
the movement resulting from its activity. Another manifestation of its function is the skeletal
muscle reflexes of the fetus. Another way that function is revealed is through visceral reactions,
such as cardiac action, intestinal activity due to smooth muscle contraction, or glandular
secretion.
14. The central nervous system of a growing fetus starts with a simple structure called the
'neural groove' and A network of cavities called ventricles form in your baby's brain.
15. Ventricular layer , Mantle layer, Marginal layer
