The neural tube is a structure that gives rise to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and is formed from the ectoderm. The mesoderm gives rise to structures such as muscle and bone, the endoderm gives rise to the lining of the digestive and respiratory systems, and the notochord plays a role in the development of the axial skeleton. While the neural crest cells are also derived from the ectoderm, they do not directly form the neural tube.
