What does the spinal cord develop from?
The neural tube
Describe the alar (sensory) plate
1. Is a dorolateral thickening of the intermediate zone of the neural tube

2. Gives rise to motor neuroblasts of the ventral and lateral horns

3. Projects axons from motor neuroblasts, which exit the spinal cord and become the ventral (motor) roots

4. The basal plate eventually becomes the dorsal horn of the spinal cord
What does the alar plate eventually become?
The dorsal horn of the spinal cord
Describe the basal (motor plate)
1. Is a ventrolateral thickening of the intermediate zone of the neural tube

2. Gives rise to motor neuroblasts of the ventral and lateral horns

3. Project axons from motor neuroblasts, which exit the spinal cord and become the ventral (motor plate)

4. The basal plate eventually becomes the ventral horn of the spinal cord
What does the basal plate eventually become?
The ventral horn of the spinal cord
What does the basal plate give rise to?
Motor neuroblasts of the ventral and lateral horns
What does the alar plate give rise to?
Sensory neuroblasts of the dorsal horn
What is the dorsolateral thickening of the intermediate zone of the neural tube?
The alar (sensory) plate
What is the ventrolateral thickening of the intermediate zone of the neural tube?
The basal (motor) plate
Describe the Sulcus Limitans
1. The sulcus limitans is a longitudinal groove in the lateral wall of the neural tube that appears during week 4 of development and separates the alar and basal plates

2. Extends from the spinal cord to the rostral midbrain
Where does the sulcus limitans extend?
From the spinal cord to the rostral midbrain
When does the sulcus limitans appear?
Week 4 of development
What is the longitudinal groove in the lateral wall of the neural tube that appears during week 4 of development and separates the alar and basal plates
Sulcus limitans
Describe the caudal eminence
1. Arises from the primitive streak and blends with the neural tube

2. Gives rise to sacral and coccygeal segments of the spinal cord
From where does the caudal eminence arise?
Arises from the primitive streak and blends with the neural tube
What arises from the primitive streak and blends with the neural tube?
Caudal eminence
What does the caudal eminence give rise to?
Sacral and coccygeal segments of the spinal cord
Describe myelination of the spinal cord
1. Begins during month 4 in the ventral (motor) roots

2. Oligodendrocytes accomplish myelination in the CNS and Schwann cells accomplish myelination in the PNS

3. Myelination of the corticospinal tracts is not completed until the end of 2 years of age

4. Myelination of the association neocortex extends to 30 years of age
When does myelination of the spinal cord begin?
Month 4
From where does myelination of the spinal cord begin?
The ventral (motor) roots
When does myelination of the corticospinal tracts complete?
Until the end of 2 years of age
When does myelination of the association neocortex complete?
The myelination of the association neocortex extends to 30 years of age
Where does the spinal cord extend to by week 8 of development?
The length of the vertebral canal
When does the spinal cord extend to the length of the vertebral canal?
Week 8 of development
Where does the conus medullaris extend to by birth?
The conus medullaris extends to the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3)
When does the conus medullaris extend to the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3)?
By birth
Where does the conus medullaris terminate in adults?
The L1-L2 interspace
What does disparate growth between the vertebral column and the spinal cord result in?
1. Disparate growth between the vertebral column and the spinal cord results in the formation of the cauda equina, consisting of dorsal and ventral roots, which descends below the level of the conus medullaris

2. Disparate growth results in the nonneural filum terminale, which anchors the spinal cord to the coccyx
Describe the formation of the cauda equina
Cauda equina results from the disparate growth between the vertebral column and the spinal cord and consists of the dorsal and ventral roots. The cauda equina descends below the level of the conus medullaris
Describe the development of nonneural filum terminale
Results from disparate growth between the vertebral column and the spinal cord
