Its derivatives include pigment cells, facial cartillage, the adrenal medulla, and the entire peripheral ner-vous system.
Its derivatives include pigment cells, facial cartillage, the adrenal medulla, and the entire peripheral ner-vous system. Its differentiation takes place under the regulation of a defined set of paracrine and juxtacrine factors, and in the embryonic neuroectoderm, this tissue forms when high levels of bone morphogenetic protein and Wnt6 ("wint six") meet. Defects in its cranial functional region results in such syndromes as Robin and DiGeorge, and it also contains the trunk, vagal, sacral, and cardiac functional regions, which migrate to the appropriate parts of the body and begin differentiation. Consisting of pluripotent cells, FTP, name this transient tissue that arises from the neural fold.
