How is neural crest different from endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Neural crest cells arise next to the developing nervous system and later migrate throughout
a vertebrate’s body. Ectoderm gives rise to the nervous system. Endoderm, mesoderm and
ectoderm are not unique to vertebrates; neural crest cells give rise to unique vertebrate
structures including parts of cranium, teeth, sensory organs, cranial nerves, teeth, and
sensory organs.
