Question

Neural canal develops from

• A. Ectoderm
• B. Mesoderm
• C. Endoderm
• D. All of the above
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ectoderm

Neural canal develops from the ectoderm. The ectoderm differentiates to form the nervous system. In vertebrates, the ectoderm has three parts: external ectoderm, the neural crest and neural tube. The ectodermal wall of neural tube forms the rudiment of the nervous system. The centre of the tube is the neural canal. So, the correct answer is 'Ectoderm'.
