B8-031 Embryogenesis Flashcards
gastrulation begins with the formation of the
primitive streak
formation of trilaminar disc from epiblast occurs in week […]
3
layers formed during gastrulation [3]
endoderm
mesoderm
ectoderm
forms the extraembryonic endoderm and mesoderm
hypoblast
[…] cells are among the first to ingress from the primitive streak
pre-notochordal cells
acts with the primitive nodes as a second signaling regions in the head region
anterior visceral endoderm
expresses genes essential for head formation
inhibits the formation of the primitive streak in the head
anterior visceral endoderm
AVE
the anterior/cranial end of the embryo is established [before/after] gastrulation
before
dorsalizing molecules [4]
chordin
goosecoid
noggin
follistatin
dosalizing molecules dorsalize the cranial mesoderm to form [3]
head structures
notochord
paraxial mesoderm
antagonizes the dorsalizers
ventralizes mesoderm to form intermediate and lateral plate mesoderm
BMP 4
dorsalizes mesoderm in middle and caudal embryo to form paraxial mesoderm somites
brachyury T
what causes sirenomelia?
absence of Brachyury T
results in shortening of axis and fusion of limb buds
notochord forms ventral to
neural plate
notochord arises from mesoderm and induces the overlying ectoderm to form […]
neural plate
(notochord secrete the dorsalizing molecule to induce the ectoderm)
notochord and primitive streak [do/do not] overlap
do not
FGF8 establishes expression of nodal on the left, but then […] represses left-sideness genes on RIGHT
SHH
(results in right handedness)
abnormalities in cilia proteins lead to […] defects
laterality
(cilia set up directional fluid flow in the primitive node that moves the signaling molecules in specific patterns)
situs inversus and primary ciliary dyskinesia are due to defects in
cilia proteins
overexpression of […] results in conjoined twin phenotype
goosecoid
when is the embryo most sensitive to teratogenic insult
week 3
merged forebrain occurring due to high doses of alcohol consumption
holoprosencephaly
failure of eye fields to separate properly
synopthalmia
de novo formation of the endothelial tubes from precursor cells
vasculogenesis
