SI November 1, 2009 Nervous System Overview 1. Outline the progression of CNS differentiation starting with the three primary brain vesicles present after neurulation has completed. 1 SI November 1, 2009 Nervous System Overview 2. Describe briefly the process of neurulation (neural tube closure). What are two disorders related to defects in neurulation? What components of the nervous system derive from the neural tube, neural crest, and the lumen of the neural tube respectively? 3. Describe the following: Gyri / Sulci / Fissures. Identify two important gyri and two important fissures. 4. Describe the following: Nucleus vs. Ganglion // Tract vs. Nerve. What is the one exception to the ‘ganglion’ rule? 5. “Decussation” is when information crosses from one side of the brain or spinal cord to the other. “Projection” is when information is exchanged between brainstem and spinal cord, or deep brain nucleand cortical ribbon. What two major anatomical areas of gray matter in the brain account for each respectively? 6. Review the difference between gray and white matter. Describe the gray matter / white matter arrangement in the brain vs. in the spinal cord. 2 SI November 1, 2009 Nervous System Overview 1.
