Question

What is neurogenic ectoderm?

Answer 1

Neurogenic Ectoderm:

1. The neural plate is derived from the dorsal ectoderm, which later forms the neural tube.
2. Neural tube then leads to the formation of the primitive brain and spinal cord.
3. Neural crest is formed by the interaction of the neural plate and epidermis.
4. The ectoderm present on the surface is responsible for the formation of epithelial tissues, and the neural plate is responsible for the formation of various neural tissues.
5. As neural crest and neural plate derived from ectoderm itself and they also give rise to neural tissues, they are referred to as neurogenic ectoderm.
