What are the three tissue layers the body is derived from?
Endoderm, Ectoderm and Mesoderm.
1 of 18
What is the Ectoderm?
The outermost layer that gives rise to the central and peripheral nervous system and epidermis.
2 of 18
Outline the process of neurulation.
Starts by a folding at the lateral edges of the neural plate (neural groove), increases until the lateral edges meet to form the neural tube.
3 of 18
What cells give rise to the neurones and glia of the PNS and CNS?
The epithelial cells that line the neural tube.
4 of 18
What does the neural cavity give rise to?
The ventricular system which bathes the CNS in cerebrospinal fluid.
5 of 18
What part of the neural tube gives rise to the brain?
The rostral neural tube.
6 of 18
What are the names of the originally formed three vesicles?
Forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain.
7 of 18
Name the 9 major brain regions.
Corpus callosum, cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, midbrain, cerebellum, medulla oblongata, spinal cord, pituitary gland, pons
8 of 18
Which two vesicles divide to form the five vesicle embryo?
1 divides to form 1a and 1b and 3 divides to form 3a and 3b.Wh

What is the function of A alpha fibres?
Motor functions - somatic proprioception.
10 of 18
What is the function of A beta fibres?
Sensing touch and pressure.
11 of 18
What is the function of A gamma fibres?
Motor spindles.
12 of 18
What is the function of A delta fibres?
Detecting pain and temperature.
13 of 18
What is the function of B fibres?
Preganglionic sympathetic.
14 of 18
What is the function of C (DR) fibres?
Pain (second pain)
15 of 18
What is the function of C (symp) fibres?
Postganglionic sympathetic.
16 of 18
How does axon diameter vary down the classification?
Decreases as you go from A to C.
17 of 18
How does conduction velocity vary down the classification?
Decreases as you go from A to C.
