List the three primary brain vesicles and describe what each part eventually forms in a mature brain

What will be an ideal response?


The three primary brain vesicles are the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain expands into two secondary brain vesicles called the telencephalon and the diencephalon. The telencephalon forms the cerebral hemispheres and the diencephalon forms the diencephalon of the mature brain. The midbrain expands into the mesencephalon which goes on to form the midbrain of the brainstem. The hindbrain develops into two secondary brain vesicles called the metencephalon and mesencephalon. Both vesicles develop into the remainder of the brainstem and the metencephalon also becomes the cerebellum.
