K1 Fluido intraneural - Composición
AB Abstraer. Prcvious studies  of thc car l y dcvclopment of the ncural  tube  ha ve shown  thc ex istence of an  intraneural nuid,  which  causes  a  positivc   pressure  inside  this  pri­ m ordium, and seems to play a key role in the early dcvcl­ opmcn l  of  the  central  nervous syslc m.  I n  the  present sludy  wc invest igated  the composition and  synthesis of lhis   int ra neural   fluid.  By  usi n g  a  scqucntial  method, wh ich     includes    fixation    with    gl utaraldch yde    plus cclylpyridinium chl oride, opening thc ncural  cavity after critica!  point  drying  and  scan ning clcctron   microscopy analysis, we found  a  water-soluble extracellular matrix that  filled up  thc brain  vesicles of chick  embryos al  the ea rliest stages of thc ncural  tu be. An ultrastructura l study of the neural  cpit hcliu m during these stages  revea led  the cxistcnce of a secretion proccss in the neural  cells toward thc apical side, the future neural cavity. An immunocyto­ chemical  study  to asscs thc nature  of the secreted  materi­ al has shown  that  the intraneu ral matrix  conta ins chon­ droitin  sulphate proteoglycan, which appeared homoge­ n ously  distributed  throughout  lhc  neura l  cavity.  Our findings demonstra te that  thc int raneural liquid is a nuid of com plcx composilion and  includes  chondroiti n su l­ phate   protcoglycan as  a n  osmotically active  molccule. Th is suggests  a morphogenetic role for the proteoglycan during ea rl y brain enlargcmcnt. Thc neural ectoderm is a polarized   epi thelium   from  carly  developmental  stages and  secretes  the in t rancural  malrix.
