0217 Flashcards
Six steps for mature central nervous system
Proliferation, migration, differentiation, axon pathfinding, synapse formation, regressive events
What is proliferation
Mitotic activity, form billions of cells from dozens
What is migration
Some cells leave to form distant nuclei and layers, they aggravate in these layers
What is differentiation
Chemical and morphological differences that determine group and function
Regressive events
Neurons overgrow then they prune back extra axons den dries etc.
What is a blastula
Single Ball of cells
What is the earliest event in the nervous system
Neural induction (proliferation)
When does neural induction happen
Gastrulation
What is gastrulation
A stage where enormous cell movements (invagination, inggression, and involution) lead to the formation of three germ layers
What are the three germ layers
Ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
When are the primary body axes established
During gastrulation
What interaction is critical for the specification of neural cells
The interaction between dorsal ectodermal and mesodermal cells along the midline
What does the dorsal ectoderm become
Neural plate
What does the Neuro plate become
Neural tube
What happens to the rest of the ectoderm (minus the dorsal ectoderm)
It developed into skin
Which germ layer is the basis for the vertebrate nervous system
The dorsal ectoderm
Which germ layer is crucial for the development of the invertebrate nervous system
Ventral ectoderm
Where do melanocytes in chromaffin from the adrenal glands come from
Dorsal ectoderm
What type of signaling is used in the invertebrate ventral ectoderm
Delta notch signaling
What is delta notch signaling
Communication between adjacent cells rather than regions
How do vertebrate ectoderm communicate
Chemical signaling from the mesoderm to ectoderm
What neurons come from the neural tube
Central nervous system neurons
What neurons come from the neural crest
Peripheral nervous system neurons
What forms neural groove
The sides of the narrow plate fold up from the cell shaped changes of neural plate cells in ectodermal proliferation; invagination
What makes certain cells go towards the notochord
Cell adhesion molecules
What is the collection of cells between the neural tube in the epidermis called
Neural crest
And the neural crest, what does the low concentration of anti-BMP expressions do
They increase mutual binding of BMP four on the TGF beta receptor
What happens when tissue is transplanted from the dorsal blastopore lip before the pre-gastrulation stage
It will grow a second nervous system composed of host cells
What is the finding that lead to the neural induction hypothesis in the effort of identifying neural inducer molecules
Ectoderm has switched from epidermidis to neural ectoderm when a second nervous system is created
What effect does the blastopore lip have on the ectoderm
it induces it to become neural
What will happen to uncommitted ectoderm cells
They will become Nuro ectoderm cells and they will produce neurons and glia
What are the two experiments that help with understanding of neural induction
Implant liver with aldehyde treatment and transplantation of tissue from dorsal blastophore lip of a donor newt
What happens when ectodermal cells secrete BMP-4
This causes the ectodermal cells to become epidermal cells instead of neural cells
Why did the isolated cell culture not become epidermal cells
The BMP – four was too diluted
What is the receptor for a BMP 4
TGF Dash Beta
What are the four competitive antagonist of BMP – four
Noggin, Chordin, ceberus, and fallistatin
What happens when BMP antagonists bind to its receptor
The ectodermal cells stay default into neurons
What does noggin binding do
It makes neurons
What does chordin binding do
Induces neural tissue and other tissue
What germ layers produce the BMP-4 antagonist proteins
The dorsal blastopore lip & the midline mesoderm
What turns off pro neural genes and turns on epidermal genes
Smed timer
What is the Pathway for epidermal to form
BMP – four vines to TGF Beta which activates smad 2 to bind to smad 4 for and the dimer goes to nucleus
What is another name for the notochord
Dorsal mesoderm
What happens to the inhibitors of BMPs that the dorsal mesoderm releases
They diffuse into the dorsal ectoderm and block the effect of BMPs to allow neural tissue to form
During what stage of mitosis does the local environment instruct cells to become one type over another
The last stage
What are the two main migratory paths for neural crest cells
The ventral migratory pathway & the dorsal migratory pathway
What do neural crest cells on the dorsal pathway become
Melanocytes
What do neural crest cells on the ventral Pathway become
Dorsal root ganglion neurons, I don’t gnomic ganglion cells, adrenal chromaffin cells, or enteric ganglion cells
How do you produce a symmetric division
Vertical cleavage that splits perpendicularly to ventricular surface produces symmetric division
What happens as a result of symmetric division
Both daughter cells attached to the ventricular surface and both re-enter mitosis
What are the two ways to produce asymmetric division
One. A horizontal cleavage that Cleaves parallel to ventricular surface
2.. If a cleavage plan is off centered vertically
What happens as a result of asymmetric division
The daughter cell with the attachment to the ventricular surface reenters mitosis, and the one without the attachment exits mitosis, migrates away, and undergoes differentiation
