Question

Nervous system is derived from the following germinal layer.

• A. Mesoderm
• B. Endoderm
• C. Ectoderm
• D. Meso-endoderm

Answer 1

The correct option is C Ectoderm

There are three germ layers from which the different parts of the body arise. These are ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm. Ectoderm develops into the epidermis, the brain and the nervous system. Mesoderm develops into bones, muscles, the heart, circulatory system and sex organs. Endoderm develops into the inner lining of organs, liver and pancreas.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
