CHAPTER 4 – Development of the Peripheral Nervous System

摘要: This chapter begins with the development of cranial nerves. The olfactory epithelium is well delineated in human embryos by about day 37 postconception (pc). Later development, vomeronasal organ has been shown to have what appear be receptor cells. It noted that retina central origin, but for sake a complete treatment nerves it useful summarize key stages retinal development. Therefore, major developmental events optic nerve and are illustrated. followed emphasis on trigeminal nerve, which contains both motor sensory divisions. neurons develop from neural crest epidermal placode mandibular arch, as other species. ganglion can recognized 26 days. Furthermore, focuses somatic peripheral nervous system. examines brachial plexus embryos. Finally, autonomic enteric system discussed.
