Central pattern generators are one type of circuit. These are related to compound muscle activation. Stretch and inverse stretch reflexes are other kinds of circuits that, respectively, contract or relax muscles upon lengthening. Another kind of circuit is the withdrawl reflex, which protects limbs from noxious stimuli.

What structure develops into the vertebrate spinal cord?

The neural tube develops into the vertebrate spinal cord. It forms early in embryonic development from a flat sheet of neural ectoderm that rolls into a tube, eventually differentiating into the brain and spinal cord.


Brain and spinal cord develops from?

The neural tube


In a toad embryo the neural tube does what?

The neural tube is the embryonic predecessor of the brain and spinal cord. Which means, most of what it "does" is develop into a brain and spinal cord. The neural tube is initially formed almost exclusively of stem and progenitor cells. Over time, these stem and progenitor cells adopt specific identities and begin to differentiate neurons and later glial cells and these cells begin forming neural circuits. By the time the neural tube has developed to a point where it is capable of carrying out rudimentary neurological functions, the nomenclature is generally changed to brain and spinal cord rather than neural tube.


Through what part of a vertebra does the spinal cord pass?

The central canal of the spinal cord. The central canal, also known as ependymal canal, is the cerebrospinal fluid-filled space that runs longitudinally through the length of the entire spinal cord.


What will the neural tube become?

The brain and spinal cord. The cephalic portion of the nueral tube becomes the brain, the caudal portion becomes the spinal cord.
