Descriptor tubo neural
Scope note: Tubo de tejido ectodérmico en el embrión que dará lugar al SISTEMA NERVIOSO CENTRAL, incluyendo la MÉDULA ESPINAL y el CEREBRO. La luz del tubo neural es el canal neural que dará lugar al conducto espinal central de la médula espinal y a los ventrículos cerebrales. Para defectos del tubo neural, ver MALFORMACIONES DEL TUBO NEURAL.

Scope note: A tube of ectodermal tissue in an embryo that will give rise to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, including the SPINAL CORD and the BRAIN. Lumen within the neural tube is called neural canal which gives rise to the central canal of the spinal cord and the ventricles of the brain. For malformation of the neural tube, see NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS.
