Cards

Term
Germinal neuroepithelium
Definition
Layer of rapidly dividing neural stem cells that compose the original neural tube.
Term
Neural crest
Definition
A band of cells along the border where the neural tube pinches off from the surface ectoderm that migrate to various parts of the embryo and produce diverse structures.
Term
Neural plate
Definition
Portion of the dorsal ectoderm destined to become the neural tube and consisting of a flat sheet of columnar cells.
Term
Neural tube
Definition
Ectoderm-derived dorsal tube that forms the rudiment of the central nervous system.
Term
Neuroblast
Definition
A precursor to a neuron.
Term
Primary neurulation
Definition
Formation of the neural tube by infolding of neural ectoderm and pinching off from surface ectoderm.
Term
Secondary neurulation
Definition
Formation of the neural tube by sinking of a solid cord of neural ectoderm into the embryo followed by cavitation.
