Document Summary

Since we stand upright (opposed to walking on all 4"s) our neurosis changes the orientation of the nervous stem between the brain and the spinal cord. Lateral = towards the outside: always remains the same. The patch is the neural plate and develops into the nervous system: the neural plate is comprised of 3 layers of embryonic cells: (1) ectoderm (outermost) (2) mesoderm (middle) (3) endoderm (innermost) 1: development of the neural plate is induced by chemical signs from an. Earliest cells of the embryo: as development proceeds, situation changes. 4 days after, the stem cells of the embryo become pluripotent. Pluripotent: capable of becoming any cell type that makes up the body: mulitpotent: limited to becoming one of the nervous system cells. Destined to become either glial cells or neurones. Since they can still engage in self-renewal they are termed glial stem cells and neural stem cells.
