Transverse Section
1) Metencephalon anterior part of hindbrain
- thicker walls than myelencephalon
- indistinct boundary between meten and myelencephalon
- fate of its roof: cerebellum
2) Myelencephalon posterior part of hindbrain
- fate of its thin roof (Posterior Choroid Plexus): roof of medulla (& adjacent
ectoderm)
3) Neuromeres segmented enlargements
- found on walls of meten & myelencephalon
- 11 neuromeres:
> Forebrain 1st to 3rd
> Midbrain 4th to 5th
> Hindbrain 6th to 11th
4) Posterior Choroid Plexus thin roof of myelencephalon
- folded in the myelocoel
- vascularization occurs here
5) Endolymphatic Ducts @ sides of myelencephalon walls
- small, thick-walled oval structure
- appears before auditory vesicle does
6) Auditory Vesicles / Otic Vesicles / Otocysts - @ level of 10th neuromere
- on each side of myelencephalon
- bigger than endolymphatic duct
*Going posterior, on each side: 2 groups of nerve fibers, continuous to ganglia
13) Oculomotor Nerve (III) group of nerve fibers that appear as a pair of streaks
from the mesencephalic floor
- innervate 4 pairs of extrinsic eye muscles
14) Anterior Cardinal Vein (ACV) / Precardinal Vein found in mesenchyme of
mesencephalic floor
- large vein; represented by space
15) Notochord elongated cells
- between 2 regions of hindbrain / between spinal cord and hindbrain
FOREGUT & Associated Structures:
1) Closing Plates double layered membranes
- endoderm (of pharyngeal pouches) + ectoderm (pharyngeal pouches)
2) Pharyngeal Furrows from invagination of pharyngeal pouches
3) 1st Pharyngeal Furrow and Pouch (PF & P) endodermal evagination
- (in this section) isolated structure, becomes continuous w/ pharynx
- opens externally via 1st Pharyngeal Furrow
- (furrow) V-shaped ectodermal indentation
4) 2nd PF & P similar in appearance than 1st
- more posterior (towards spinal cord)
3rd and 4th PF & P and closing plates more posterior; @ w/c 1 st and 2nd fade
