This figure shows the neural crest, a fold located between the epidermal ectoderm and the neural ectoderm. The neural ectoderm gives rise to the neural tube in the centre, the epidermal ectoderm, as the name suggests, gives rise to the skin and the neural crest is located between the two and gives rise to many other structures, tissues and organs in the body.


Abbreviations: EE epidermal ectoderm NE neural ectoderm
