Correct Answer � C

Explanation

Derivatives of Neuroectoderm

From NEURAL TUBE: From NEURAL CREST:
  • CNS (brain, spinal cord),
A) NEURAL DERIVATIVES
  • Astrocytes
  • Sensory neurons of 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th. 10th cranial nerve ganglia (trigeminal, geniculate, sphenopalatine, submandibular, cochlear, vestibular, otic and vagal parasympathetic ganglia).
  • Oligodendrocytes
  • Sensory neurons of spinal dorsal root ganglia.
  • Ependymal cells
  • Sympathetic chain ganglia and plexus (celiac/preaortic/renal ganglia, enteric plexus in GIT, I.e. Auerbachs and Meissner’s).
  • Retina
  • Parasympathetic ganglia and plexus of GIT.
  • Pineal gland
  • Schwann cells of peripheral nerves, satellite cells of all ganglia.
  • Neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary)
  • Adrenal  medulla, chromaffin cells, parafollicular C-cells of thyroid gland.
  • All cranial and spinal motor nerves
  • Melanocytes and melanoblasts.
 
  • Glomus cells
  B)MESENCHYMAL DERIVATIVES
 
  • Dermal bones of skull: Frontal, parietal, temporal, nasal, vomer, palatine, mandible, maxilla.
 
  • Leptomeninges : arachnoid and pia mater (Duramater is mesodermal).
 
  • Dentine of teeth (odontoblasts)
 
  • Eye : choroid, sclera, iris epithelium, pupillary muscles (sphincter and dilator pupillae, ciliary muscles).
 
  • Pharyngeal arch cartilages.
 
  • Retinal pigmented epithelium
 
  • Connective tissues of head including dermis, tendon, ligaments.
 
  • Bulbar and coronal ridges of heart.
