Question 28 In prenatal development organogenesis refers to

Question 28 In prenatal development, organogenesis refers to _________, whereas neurogenesis refers to _____________.

options: The formation of the internal organs; the formation of new neurons.

The physical growth of the internal organs; the connectivity of the neural system.

The formation of the internal organs; the connectivity of the neural system.

The physical growth of the internal organs; the formation of new neurons.

They both refer to the same growth process.

Solution

Ans. In prenatal development, organogenesis refers to the formation of internal organs; whereas neurogenesis refers to the connectivity of the neural system.   

Organogenesis: The formation of internal organs.

Neurogenesis: “ The process involving neuron proliferation, migrate and integrate themselves in the brain.” The process refers to ‘formation of new neurons’ as well as ‘their integration’ to form complete nervous system.

Therefore, option 3 is the most appropriate one.
