13-1 The Embryologic Perspective
Embryological Development
Determines organization of nervous system
structures
Neural plate Neural groove Neural fold
Neural tube
Origin of CNS (brain, spinal cord) and PNS
![Page 3: Ch 13 Anatomy of the Nervous System](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021106/62054423dcdb6a572b7ebf03/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The three germ layers are formed at
gastrulation at implantation
Ectoderm: outside, surrounds
other layers later in
development, generates skin
and nervous tissue.
Mesoderm: middle layer,
generates most of the
muscle, blood and
connective tissues of the
body and placenta.
Endoderm: eventually most
interior of embryo, generates
the epithelial lining and
associated glands of the gut,
lung, and urogenital tracts.

Neurulation: folding of the neural plate
![Page 5: Ch 13 Anatomy of the Nervous System](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021106/62054423dcdb6a572b7ebf03/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Cranial Neural Crest:Contribute to forehead, face, jaw, and pharyngeal arch derivatives
![Page 6: Ch 13 Anatomy of the Nervous System](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021106/62054423dcdb6a572b7ebf03/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The spinal cord and the vertebral column are the same length up until the 3rd
month.
As each vertebral body grows thicker, the overall length of the vertebral column begins to exceed that of the spinal cord such that , in the adult the spinal cord terminates at L2 or 3 and the dural sac ends at about S2.
The tail end of the dural sac covering the spinal cord and nerve roots remains attached at the coccyx and becomes a long, thin strand called the filum terminale.
“Regression” of the spinal cord

canal of spinal cord
Into subarachnoid space around the brain, spinal cord, and cauda
equina
