Published 09/14/2023 Failure to close the {{c1::cranial neuropore}} can lead to {{c2::encephalocele}} and {{c3::anencephaly}}
Published 09/14/2023 {{c1::Sonic hedgehog (SHH)}} is secreted by the {{c2::notochord}} and drives {{c3::CNS development}} through cell differentiation. 
Published 09/14/2023 {{c2::Primitive groove}} + {{c2::primitive pit}} + {{c2::primitiive node}} = {{c1::primitive streak}}

Published 09/14/2023 What does the visceral layer of the lateral plate mesoderm form?
Published 09/14/2023 {{c1::Lateral folding}} results in “pinching off” of {{c2::endoderm}} and {{c2::visceral mesoderm}} to form {{c3::gut tube}}
Published 09/14/2023 Three parts of the gut tube
Published 09/14/2023 What does the foregut differentiate into?
Published 09/14/2023 At week 4, intermediate mesoderm condenses and forms {{c1::urogenital ridge (the gonads, adrenal cortex, kidney, and reproductive tract.)}}
Published 09/14/2023 Formation of the primitive heart tube
Published 09/14/2023 Explain what happens between zygote formation and blastocyst implantation: 
Published 09/14/2023 Explain the key features of gastrulation: 
Published 09/14/2023 The only remnant of the {{c1::notochord}} is the {{c1::nucleus pulposus}}, the jelly-like center of the intervertebral discs
Published 09/14/2023 Purpose of the notochord
Published 09/14/2023 Explain the process of neurulation
Published 09/14/2023 The {{c1::paraxial mesoderm}} is the closest to the notochord and it quickly starts to segment into paired blocks of tissue called {{c2::somites}}
