Development of the Nervous System

AB
Inductionprocess that culminates in the formation of a thickening in the ectoderm germ layer known as the neural plate
Neurulationprocess by which the neural plate becomes neural tube
EndodermStructures of the body formed: Internal organs and viscera
MesodermStructures of the body formed: Bones and muscles
EctodermStructures of the body formed: Nervous system and skin
Mitosisprocess in cell division by which the nucleus divides, normally resulting in two new nuclei
Differentiationprocess by which cells or tissues undergo a change toward a more specialized form or function
SynaptogeneisFormation of nerve synapses
Myelinationthe acquisition, development, or formulation of a myelin sheath around a nerve fiber
Myelin sheatha white fatty substance that surrounds the axon and aids in neural transmission
RostralPart of the neural tube that develops into the brain
CaudalPart of the neural tube that devlops into the spinal cord
Functions of gliaholds neurons in place
Functions of gliaprovides physical support
