Question 1

Correct Answer:

Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

During early embryonic development, the ectoderm gives rise to the neural tube, which is the precursor to the central nervous system. The neural tube forms from the neural groove, which eventually closes to become the spinal cord and brain. As the neural tube develops, it differentiates into three primary regions: the prosencephalon, which becomes the forebrain; the mesencephalon, which becomes the midbrain; and the rhombencephalon, which becomes the hindbrain. The neural crest, a group of cells that separate from the neural tube, plays a crucial role in the development of the peripheral nervous system and other tissues. Overall, the formation and differentiation of the neural tube and its regions are essential for the proper development of the nervous system.
