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.

When a human embryo is formed which system is created first?

The first system to form in a human embryo is the nervous system. The neural tube, which will develop into the brain and spinal cord, is one of the earliest structures to develop in the developing embryo.


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.

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.
