20.3 Flashcards
pattern formation
created the body plan of an organism
*depends on differential gene expression based on location within the embryo
*established A/P, D/V and L/R body axes
morphogenesis
generation of organisms body form
depends on:
-cell growth
-cell division
-cell migration
-changes in cell shape
-apoptosis
morphogenesis involves cell migration
cell surface adhesion proteins bind and release the extracellular matrix
morphogenesis involves changes in cell shape
cell shape and structure are associated with cell function
morphogenesis involves apoptosis
necrosis: caused by injury- cell membrane bursts- contents are release
apoptosis-induced by cell death pathway- cell fragments into apoptotic bodies-fragments recycled
