Term
Organogenesis
Definition
formation of the primary organs and then formation of tissues and and secondary organs
Term
Notochord
Definition
skeletal rod characteristic of all chordate embryos. It is formed from dorsal mesoderm that condensed just above the archenteron
Term
Neurulation
Definition
process that starts with thickening of dorsl ectoderm which creates neural plate above the notochord
Term
Neural Tube
Definition
neural plate folds inward, rolling itself and pinches off from the rest of the ectoderm cells
Term
Neural Crest
Definition
migrate and create pigment cells of the skin, some of the bones and muscles of the skull, teeth, medulla of the adrenal glands, peripherial components of the nervous system such as the sensory organs
Term
Somitogenesis
Definition
process when paraxial mesoderm reorganizes itself into blocks called somites
Term
Somite
Definition
segmented blocks of mesoderm - they form:
-Sclerotome-skeletal elements of vetebrate and ribs
-Myotome-axial muscles
-Dermatome-dermis
