Q

Cleavage stage

  • 9form segmented strictures- vertebrae, musculature, dermis)
20
Q

Fate map of the frog (xenopus) blastula

Intermediate

A

kidneys, gonads

21
Q

Fate map of the frog (xenopus) blastula

Lateral plate

A
  • body wall, limb buds (presursors to the limbs)
22
Q

Fate map of the frog (xenopus) blastula

Ventral

blood cells and vessels

23
Q

Fate map of the frog (xenopus) blastula

Much happens during gastrulation (frog example)

A
  • cells of the animal hemisphere migrate over the whole embryonic surface in a process known as epiboly lower vertebrates)
  • ## marginal zone cells involute to form the archenteron (develping gut)
24
Q

During involution

A
  • The mesoderm separates from the endoderm and involutes as a separate tissues layer between the ectoderm and endoderm
  • towards the end the dorsal axial mesoderm elongates in the anteroposterior direction faciliated by convergent extension:
  • The ventrolateral mesoderm moves towards the dorsal midline (converges) and the dorsal midline elongates (extends)
25
Q

Gatrulation:

A
  • formation of the three germ layers
26
Q

Initiation of gastrulation

A
  • marked by the formation of the dorsal lip in the dorsal vegetal quadrant
27
Q

The gastrulating cells interact with

A
  • fibronectin tracks secreted into the ECM b y the lastocoel roof
28
Q

Fibronenic

A

tracks promote the migraHng of involuted deep cells to the animal pole

29
Q

The dorsal lip elongates

A

laterally and then ventrally encircling the whole embryon forming the blastopore

30
Q

The fates of the three gern layers

Ectoderm

A
  • epidermis
  • Cenetral nervous system
  • lens
  • neural crest:
  • melanocytes
  • craniofacial cartilage and bone
  • smooth muscle
  • peripheral neurons
  • some glial cells
31
Q

Mesoderm

A
  • heaed mesoderm
  • notochord
  • somites
  • kidneys
  • limbs
  • blood vessels
  • skeletal muscle
  • heart
32
Q

Endoderm

A
  • Epithelial linings of:
  • liver
  • gut
  • pancreas
  • bladder
  • lungs
33
Q

Neurolation:

A

The ectoderm on the dorsal side becomes the centrao nervous system

34
Q

Notochord

A
  • Signals to the overlying ectoderm to become the neural plate
35
Q

Neural folds

A

form on the outer edges of the neural plate

36
Q

Neural folds

A

fuse at the dorsal midline forming the neural tube and the overlying epidermis

37
Q

Neural crest cells form

A

at the end of neurulation

38
Q

Neural crest forms:

A
  • Melanocytes
  • craniofacial cartilage and bone
  • smooth muscle
  • peripheral neurons
  • some glial cells

A

Tissue invaginates all around the circumference of the embryo forming the blastopore

40
Q

During and after neurulation

A

there is significant elongation of the body

41
