Neural tube
Neural Tube
The neural tube is the structure in mammalian embryos that develops into the brain and spinal cord. It forms from the ectoderm layer during development and gives rise to the central nervous system.
The notochord is a flexible rod-like structure found in embryos of chordate animals, including humans. It provides support and helps define the axis of the body. In many vertebrates, the notochord develops into part of the spinal column.
Chordomas develop on the skull or spinal cord.
Astrocytomas can develop on any part of the brain or spinal cord
Yes. The neural tube is a long, hollow structure that extends about the full length of the developing embryo. The tube itself gives rise to both components of the central nervous system (CNS): the brain and the spinal cord.

Backbones provided protection for the spinal cord.
Spinal desiccation is the process by which the discs of the spinal column die or develop atrophy. This causes considerable discomfort due to the reduced elasticity and direct contact between the discs.
