cardiovascular system
• there is a pronounced blood supply to the dorsal spinal cord
|
hemorrhage
(
J:57948
)
• hemorrhage may be seen around the dorsal spinal cord
|
cellular
• increased proliferation is seen in the spinal cord at E12.5 but not at E18.5
|
craniofacial
• the membranous skull is absent
|
muscle
• the epiaxial muscles that normally overlay the brain and spinal cord are absent
|
skeleton
• the membranous skull is absent
|
• the neural arches are absent
|
nervous system
• ventralization of the midbrain is seen by E9.5
|
• neural hyperplasia is first detected at E9.5
• at E18.5 a tissue mass is seen emanating from the midbrain and spinal cord with a folded appearance protruding out the back of the mutants
|
• at E12.5 dorsal-ventral organization of the neural precursor cells in the spinal cord is absent
|
hydromyelia
(
J:57948
)
• between E12.5 and E18.5 expansion of the ventricular zone is seen
|
• at E18.5 a tissue mass, with a folded appearance, is seen emanating from the midbrain and spinal cord and protruding out the back of the mutants
• there is a pronounced blood supply to the dorsal spinal cord
|
homeostasis/metabolism
