  2. Notochord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notochord

    Red: notochord; Magenta: axochord; Green: nerve chord; Blue: epidermis; Yellow: mesoderm. The notochord is an elastic, rod-like structure found in chordates. In chordate vertebrates the notochord is an embryonic structure that disintegrates, as the vertebrae develop, to become the nucleus pulposus in the intervertebral discs of the vertebral ...

  4. Neurulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurulation

    The notochord plays an integral role in the development of the neural tube. Prior to neurulation, during the migration of epiblastic endoderm cells towards the hypoblastic endoderm, the notochordal process opens into an arch termed the notochordal plate and attaches overlying neuroepithelium of the neural plate. The notochordal plate then ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_roots...

    Second, medical roots generally go together according to language, i.e., Greek prefixes occur with Greek suffixes and Latin prefixes with Latin suffixes. Although international scientific vocabulary is not stringent about segregating combining forms of different languages, it is advisable when coining new words not to mix different lingual roots.

  7. Axial mesoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_mesoderm

    Axial mesoderm, or chordamesoderm, is the mesoderm in the embryo that lies along the central axis under the neural tube.. will give rise to notochord; starts as the notochordal process, whose formation finishes at day 20 in humans.

  8. Mesoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoderm

    This forms the notochord, which induces the formation of the neural tube, and establishes the anterior-posterior body axis. The notochord extends beneath the neural tube from the head to the tail. The mesoderm moves to the midline until it covers the notochord. When the mesoderm cells proliferate, they form the paraxial mesoderm.

  9. Chordoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chordoma

    Chordoma is a rare slow-growing neoplasm thought to arise from cellular remnants of the notochord.The evidence for this is the location of the tumors (along the neuraxis), the similar immunohistochemical staining patterns, and the demonstration that notochordal cells are preferentially left behind in the clivus and sacrococcygeal regions when the remainder of the notochord regresses during ...
