Stage 1: neurulation day 21
1. The notocord is a structure within which 3 layers of cells?
2. How does the Neuroectoderm (neural plate) form?
3. how does the neural groove form? -
correct answer ✅1. mesoderm
2. The ectoderm that lies dorsomedial to the notocord thickens to
become the neuroectoderm
3. Neural folds, margins lying next to the neural plate, elevate to
create a depression out of the neural plate, called the neural
groove.
