| 31. | As a result, the incidence of neural tube defects has dropped by nearly 20 percent.
|
| 32. | Neuromeres are the segments of the neural tube that establish the embryonic brain during development.
|
| 33. | Spina bifida, a leading cause of childhood paralysis, is the most common neural tube defect.
|
| 34. | If the top of the neural tube remains open, a baby's brain does not develop.
|
| 35. | The plate edges rise dorsally and fold toward the midline to form the neural tube.
|
| 36. | Worldwide, 300, 000 to 400, 000 babies are born each year with neural tube defects.
|
| 37. | The caudal rhombencephalon has been generally considered as the initiation site for neural tube closure.
|
| 38. | Analysis can detect neural tube defects and genetic disorders.
|
| 39. | The central canal represents the adult remainder of the central cavity of the neural tube.
|
| 40. | Neurula involves the formation of an internal neural tube from an external sheet of cells.
