central nervous system, spinal cord
Neural tissue is formed by neural stem cells, which are progenitor cells found in the nervous system. These stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various types of neural cells like neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes, ultimately forming the intricate network of the nervous system.
Melanocyte cells are derived from neuroectoderm, which is a part of the ectoderm layer during embryonic development. They arise from neural crest cells, a group of cells that migrate during early development and give rise to various cell types, including melanocytes.
Muscle cells are called myocytes, gland cells are called secretory cells, and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called neurons.
Melanocytes are cells that arise from the neural crest during development and migrate to the epidermis. They are responsible for producing the pigment melanin, which contributes to skin color and protection from UV radiation.
Neurons originate from neural stem cells in the developing embryo, primarily in the neural tube.
Neural crest cells give rise to a variety of cell types, including neurons, glial cells, melanocytes, and certain types of connective tissue. They migrate from the dorsal neural tube during embryonic development to populate different regions of the body. Ultimately, the derivatives of neural crest cells contribute to the formation of structures like the peripheral nervous system, facial bones, and pigment cells in the skin.

Neural crest cells migrate to various locations in the embryo, where they differentiate into a wide range of cell types including neurons, glial cells, cartilage, bone, and pigment cells. They play a crucial role in the development of structures such as the peripheral nervous system, craniofacial skeleton, and adrenal glands.
Yes, melanocytes are derived from the neural crest cells, which are a transient structure that arises from the ectodermal germ layer during embryonic development.
Preganglionic neurons develop from the neural tube during embryonic development. They are part of the autonomic nervous system and transmit signals from the central nervous system to the autonomic ganglia, where they synapse with postganglionic neurons.
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.
A nerve cell is the structural and functional unit of a nerve
The Epiderm
Yes... sort of. The viscerocranium (bones of the face) and neurocranium (bone surrounding the brain) are both formed from the ectoderm (more specifically from the neural crest). The rest of the skeletal system is formed from the paraxial and lateral (somatic) portions of the mesoderm.
Neurons are formed during early development through a process called neurogenesis. Neural stem cells located in the brain divide and differentiate into neurons. This process involves the growth of axons and dendrites, as well as the establishment of connections with other neurons to form a functional neural network.
Muscle cells are called myocytes, gland cells are called secretory cells, and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called neurons.
