MCQ Anatomy Answer 011

on with 0 comments



The correct answer is A.

The spinal cord arises from the caudal end of the neural tube. During development, an alar and a basal plate is formed, separated by a longitudinal groove called the sulcus limitans (choice E).

The alar plate forms the dorsal (posterior) part of the spinal cord and becomes the sensory or afferent portion of the cord. The basal plate (choice B) is the ventral (anterior) part of the cord, and becomes the motor, or efferent, portion of the spinal cord, and therefore would contain anterior horn cells.

The neural crest (choice C) develops into multipolar ganglion cells of autonomic ganglia, pseudounipolar cells of spinal and cranial nerve ganglia, leptomeningeal cells, Schwann cells, melanocytes, chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, and odontoblasts.

Neural Tube Defects: From Origin to TreatmentThe brain forms from the rostral end of the neural tube (choice D).
