🗑
Tumor with enlarged nuclei and increased amount of chromatin   Grade 3  
🗑
Characteristics of Grade 3   mitotic figures, chromosome and spindles are noticable-- means rapid proliferation==  
🗑

🗑
AKA extends from 1 gyrus to to its neighbor   Grade 4, and glioblastoma multiforme  
🗑
Highest maligant tumor   Grade 4  
🗑
Tumor most common in middle-aged and elderly   Grade 4  
🗑
Diagnosis of Grade 4   survivial time may be measured in week  
🗑
Benign   primary tumor will not metasisize  
🗑
Oligodendrolglia tumors are located   slow growing, and locating in lobes of brain--rather than in diencephalon or basal ganglia  
🗑
Characteristics of Oligodendroglia tumors   drak round nuclei centered w/ in clear cytoplasm (yolk of fried egg)  
🗑
Tumor associated w/ Satellitosis   Oligoden--is enlarged clusters around neurons and nodules beneath pia  
🗑
Ependymomas   tumors of epithelial and ependymal cells  
🗑
Empendymomas are located in   ventricular spaces or brain and central canal  
🗑
Ependymomas and children   found in 4th ventricles  
🗑
Ependymomas and adults   located in spinal canal  
🗑
Tumors more readily removed   ependymomas  
🗑
Tumors categorized as lymphomas   Microglia  
🗑
Lymphomas common in   HIV or organ tansplant receipenints (immunodeficincy )  
🗑
Lymphomas are   family of neoplasms concsists of bone-marrow derived B, and thumus T  
🗑
Common Tumor in Children   Medullablastomas  
🗑
Medullablastomas arise in   cerebellar hemispheres  
🗑
Tumor that has unrestrained growth of ebryonal cells   medullablastomas  
🗑
Medullablastoms need to be treated   aggresively b/c spread quickly along surface of brain and spinal cord  
🗑
Benign Primary Tumors   Meningionma and Schwannoma  
🗑
Characterictics of Beign Tumors   covered with fibrous vascularized capsule, and grow push against brain tissue  
🗑
Secondary Tumors   start somewhere else, and now are in somewhere else  
🗑
Arise from malignat cells that orginate outside the NS   Metastic Brain tumors  
🗑
Growth pattern of metastatic tumors   different than primary  
🗑
How metastic cells get in brain   break away from primary tumor, and travel the blood to brain, and are lodged at arteriolar branch pts, junctions gray/white matter), use enzymes to leave vasulature, and grow in brain  
🗑
Lung carcinoma   most common primary tumor to secondarily involve the brain  
🗑
Breast carcinoma spread to   spread to dura or brain tissue  
🗑
Prostate carcinoma spread to   ability to spread to spinal cord  
🗑
CNS develops from primitive   ectoderm  
🗑
Develop beings with   a few dozen cells  
🗑
Brain at birth   800g  
🗑
Brain wt @ adult   1600g  
🗑
Most neurons undergo last divison @   prior to bith  
🗑
3 processes to reach a fully functional CNS   1. Division of nerve cells 2, migration 3 formation of synaptic conncetions  
🗑
Are most congenital defects lethal   YES  
🗑
Basic formation of CNS takes is complete   6 weeks  
🗑
What takes place during 2nd Trimester   Cellular proliferation and migration  
🗑
Peaks during 3rd Trimester   Myelination, but continue to adulthood  
🗑
Development of synaptic connections   deals with functional maturity and continues throughout life  
🗑
Neural groove appears   posterior aspect of trilaminar embryo  
🗑
3 steps of Neural Tube development   1 appears on triaminar embryo 2 groove deepens and yileds neural folds at lateral margins of neural plate 3 Neural folds elevate, and form neural tube  
🗑
This folding of neural tube takes place   @ what will be cervical levels of spinal cord  
🗑
Last point @ which neural tube closes   Anter @ Posterio Neuropores  
🗑
After formation of neural tube what appears   3 layers 1.Ventricular 2 Marginal 3 Intermediate  
🗑
Ventricular Zone appears   Appears 1st  
🗑
Marginal Zone contains   no cell bodies, and be invaded by axons from intermediate  
🗑
Intermediate Zone   The cell bodies brea away from ventricular zone, adn give rise to postmitoic neurons  
🗑
Subventicular Zone forms   between venticular and intermediate zones  
🗑
Cells of Subventricular give rise to   Macroglial cells of CNS, and nuerons in braintem and forebrain  
🗑
Embronic disc is composed of   ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm  
🗑
Neuroectroderm gives rise to   brain, spinal cord and PNS  
🗑
What Notochord arises from   axial mesoderm @ 16 days  
🗑
The notochod define the   longitudinal axis of embryo and orientation of vertebral column, and b/c nucleus pulposus @ intervertebral discs  
🗑
Notochord produces   Cell adhsion molecules  
🗑
Cell Adhesion molecules go   diffuse into neural plate, and joing primitive neuroepithelial cells  
🗑
What is Neurulation   CNS develops from neural tubes  
🗑
2 Nuerulation Processes   Primary and Secondary Neurulation  
🗑
Primary Neurulation is   neural plate--neural tube, gives rise to Brain and Spinal cord--to lumbar  
🗑
Secondary Neurlation is   Caudal portion of neural tube gives rise to sacral and coccygeal levels of spinal cord
