TRANSVERSE SECTION
Level of Prosencephalon and Nasal Rudiments
prosencephalon
anterior part of the embryonic brain
cavity is prosocoel
mesenchyme
embryonic connective tissue
mesoderm and neural crest cell derived
later forms predominantly connective tissues
head mesenchyme
fills the spaces between the presumptive epidermis and walls of prosencephalon
olfactory placodes
paired pigment invaginations on either sides of prosocoel
epidermis
outermost skin layer
ectoderm derived
Level of Mesencephalon and Optic Cups
mesencephalon
appears dorsal to portion of prosencephalon called infundibulum
mid-region of the developing embryonic brain with thick roof
mesocoel brain cavity
also known as midbrain

TRANSVERSE SECTION
Level of the Telencephalon and Olfactory Pits
large indentation on the ventral surface of the embryo marks the beginning of the oral cavity
oral plate has become perforated
embryo now has an open mouth
telencephalon
paired hemispheres occupying the anterior region of forebrain
diencephalon
posterior division of the prosencephalon
olfactory pit
will subsequently develop into nasal passages with olfactory receptors
appears as a cavity on the lateral surface of the head
epiphysis
slight middorsal evagination of the brain vesicle
will become the pineal body in the adult
head mesenchyme
loose mesenchymal cells formed between the head ectoderm and the brain

TRANSVERSE SECTION
Level of the Telencephalon and Olfactory Organs
telencephalon
anterior division of the prosencephalon
is paired and each unit is roughly hemispherical but flattened at midline
each contains a cavity (lateral ventricle) formed by evagination of side of neural tube at the anterior end of
neurocoel
Layers of brain wall:
ependymal layer
o one-cell think, ciliated layer immediately surrounding the neurocoel
o cilia aid in movement of cerebrospinal fluid in ventricles of brain and in central canal of the spinal cord
mantle layer
o broad layer adjacent to ependymal layer
o will form gray matter of central nervous system
marginal layer
o outermost layer
o contains neuroblasts from inner layers and fibers
o will form the white matter of central nervous system
nasal organ
found at the region of telencephalon and lying ventrolateral to it
tubular organ formed by invagination of ectoderm
olfactory nerve connecting the olfactory lobes to the brain arises from the olfactory epithelium
also known as olfactory organ
external naris
opening of the nasal cavity to the outside
