| 21. | The sequence of stages from neural plate to neural tube and neural crest is known as neurulation.
|
| 22. | Inhibition of BMPs allows neuroectoderm to arise from ectoderm, a process which eventually forms the neural plate.
|
| 23. | Specifically BMP-4 and its inhibitors play a major role in neurulation and the development of the neural plate.
|
| 24. | In a newly formed neural plate, PAX3 mRNA, MSX1 mRNA, and MSX1 / MSX2 proteins are expressed mediolaterally.
|
| 25. | The current role of BMP in neural crest formation is associated with the induction of the neural plate.
|
| 26. | Fz3 is a Wnt receptor that is eventually restricted to the eye field of the neural plate during development.
|
| 27. | The edges of the neural plate that run in an anterior-posterior direction continue to thicken, forming ridges or folds.
|
| 28. | The progenitor cells that make up the precursors to neural tissues in the neural plate are called neuroepithelial cells.
|
| 29. | When the neural plate begins to fold, rostral areas of the neural plate do not express Pax3 and MSX proteins.
|
| 30. | The neural plate will form opposite the primitive streak from ectodermal tissue which thickens and flattens into the neural plate.
