Prenatal Development

transduction
SALTINESS
If there are enough positive
sodium ions going into the
cell, the calcium channels open.
Amiloride-sensitive

pathways
primary somatosensory cortex
Gustatory cortex
Ventromedial posterior
nucleus of the
thalamus
7
study aid for memory-- not required memorization
8
Gustatory stimuli interact with the microvilli in taste buds to open ion channels
leading to changes in membrane potential
Orbital cortex
discrimination

Prenatal development = from single fertilized egg to
new born infant
Pictures of a human embryo (from day 0 to 60)

puberty
key steps
1. Fertilization to gastrulation
6. Neuron Migration
Endoderm (innermost)
Gastrointestinal tract
Respiratory tract
Endocrine glands
Mesoderm (middle)
Everything else (muscles,
bones, cartilage, blood,
blood vessels, genitourinary
system, etc) 27
Zygote
Morula
Blastocyst
Blastodisc
Epiblast and hypoblast
Gastrulation
29
Day 18: a patch of cells on the ectoderm forms the neural plate
and a group of mesodermal cells condense to form the
notochord, a rod-shaped structure, underneath the neural plate

1. Finish up taste
2. Prenatal development
1. From fertilization to gastrulation
2. Formation of the neural plate
3. Formation of the neural tube
4. Proliferation of neural progenitors
31
Day 20: neural plate cells roll up to form the neural groove and
then fuses (in the next couple of days) to form the neural tube
Neural crest cells dorsal root ganglia and peripheral nervous
system
32
Day 22: neural tube is formed.
33
Most of the neural tube spinal cord,
Anterior part enlarges to form three vesicles: forebrain, midbrain,
hindbrain 34
Cross section through
this tube is shown
here
35
Ectoderm Mesoderm
37
Layers in the thickened neural
tube are divided into three
zones
Marginal zone (outermost)
Mantle zone
Ependymal zone (innermost)
Ventricular zone
= mantle zone + ependymal
zone
where neuronal progenitor cells
proliferate to produce more
progenitor cells or neurons
