Basal plate of the neural tube
What do the dorsal and ventral roots unite to form?
Spinal nerves
How do the cells of the spinal (dorsal root) ganglia transform initially?
Bipolar to unipolar by coalescence of their two processes on one side of the parent cells
Which part of the neural tube gives rise to predominantly sensory neurons?
Alar plate
