Description
Summary:The neural crest of the human embryo is a structure that has been studied for a long time. However, the information about this structure is not well systematized. The terminology, structure, and derivatives of the neural crest, as well as the directions of differentiation of its cells, are the subject of many controversies. This review analyses data obtained from classical and modern morphological studies of the neural crest, focusing on the development, structure, and derivatives of the neural crest of the human embryo. The review covers the history of discovery, nomenclature, and phylogeny of the neural crest; its formation in humans; and a description of the main parts of the cranial and spinal parts of the neural crest. It also lists the cells and tissues of the final organism that develop from the neural crest. The review aimed at analyzing the current literature on the morphology of the human neural crest and systematizing the data on the structure of the human neural crest and its derivatives.
