Chapter 11-Reporting Flashcards
is a process where an active neuron can suppress synapse formation by other neurons on the same target
gastrulation
It extends beneath the neural tube,
forming bands of mesodermal cells
notochord
is specified by the Noggin protein’s antagonism of BMP signaling
paraxial mesoderm
forms the vertebrate and rib cartilage
sclerotome
form the musculature back, rib cage and ventral body dome
myotome
Contains skeletal
muscle progenitor cells and cells that
generate the dermis of the back
dermomyotome
- Arises from the most dorsal
sclerotome that generates tendons
syndetome
Forms from the internal
cells of the sclerotome. Forms vertebral
joins, intervertebral disc, and
proximal portion of the ribs
arthronome
what are the components of somatogenesis?
periodicity, fissure formation, epithelialization, specification, and differentiation
somite formation begins in the anterior trunk
periodicity
somites are separated
fissure formation
somites are shaped by the presomitic mesoderm
epithelialization
somites are shaped by the mesoderm’s structure
specification
somites differentiate into different parts
differentiation
involves the peeling away of
surface ectoderm, revealing well-formed somite and paraxial mesoderm
somite formation
This is rounding into a
somitomere, and neural crest cells migrate
ventrally from the neural tube roof.
paraxial mesoderm
- In chick embryos, a new somite is formed every _______________, while in mouse embryos, this time
frame is more variable
90 minutes
the formation of somites during
the development of an embryo.
somitogenesis
are precursors to many structures in
our bodies, including the vertebrae and
skeletal muscles.
somites
this is a key player in
somitogenesis. It helps determine where and
when somites form, acting like a master
conductor orchestrating the formation of these structures.
Notch signaling pathway
Mammals possess four
different notch receptors, referred to as
NOTCH1, NOTCH2, NOTCH3, and
NOTCH4¹.
notch receptor
The expression pattern of a gene called
_________ wave, rising and falling.
hairyl
- This is another important gene
in this process. - Activated by Notch, its protein product
initiates reactions that suppress Notch
activity.
Mesp2/c-Mesol
In the rostral, or anterior half, it induces a
gene called ___________
Eph A4
Through these processes, the somite
boundary is determined, and the somite is
given anterior/posterior polarity at the
same time.
somite boundary and polarity
- this is not a time-telling
clock, but one that regulates the
development of an organism. - is a network of
genes whose expression oscillates
synchronously and thereby regulates the
timing of developmental events.
segmentation clock
a protein that plays a critical role in
cell growth, differentiation, and
migration.
FgfS or Fibroblast Growth Factor
is a complex network
of proteins best known for their roles
in embryogenesis and cancer.
Wnt signaling
- is a highly conserved
pathway that regulates cell-cell
interactions crucial to multiple cell
differentiation processes. - can inhibit its own
activity in a negative feedback loop,
maintaining a delicate balance.
notch clock
This is a highly conserved cell signaling
system present in most animals. It
coordinates cellular differentiation
during development and homeostasis
in numerous organs and tissues across
metazoans1
notch signaling pathway
This mechanism involves an
oscillating signal (the clock) provided
by cascading genetic networks, while
a gradient of fibroblast growth factor
(FGF) provides the somite boundaries
(the wave).
clock and wavefront mechanism
a theoretical framework that describes
the segmentation clock as a network of
coupled oscillations in the Notch, Wnt,
and FGF signaling pathways. This
model suggests that the formation of
somites in the course of vertebrate
segmentation is governed by an
oscillator known as the segmentation
clock.
Goldbeter and Pourquie model
are blocks of mesoderm that
are located on either side of the neural
tube in the developing vertebrate
embryo.
somites
Somites give rise to important
structures such as the ____________ and _____
vertebrae, ribs
Snake embryos, for instance, can
have ____________ of somites.
hundreds
is a crucial process
in embryonic development, leading to
the segmentation of the body plan.
somite formation
Ectodermal signals cause the
peripheral somitic cells to
undergo this transition by
lowering the levels of a protein
called ______________
Cdc42
o The receptor tyrosine kinase
__________ and its ligand, __________,
play a crucial role in somite
development
EphA4, ephrin B2
The epithelialization of each
somite is stabilized by the
synthesis of the extracellular
matrix protein ___________ and
the adhesion protein ________________
fibronectin, N-cadherin.
this which will eventually form the
somites, is determined by its position
along the anterior-posterior axis
before somitogenesis, the process of
somite formation
segmental plate mesoderm
The regulation of the ______________ by the
segmentation clock allows
coordination between the formation
and the specification of the new
segments.
Hox genes
blocks of cells derived from the separation
of paraxial mesoderm which are highly important in
the organization of segmental parts of vertebrate
embryos.
somite
what are the somite-derived structures?
- Cartilage of the vertebrates and ribs.
- Muscles of the rib cage, limbs, abdominal
wall, back, and tongue. - Tendons (muscles to bones connection).
- Dermis of the dorsal skin.
- Vascular cells (contributes to the formation
of the aorta and intervertebral blood vessels). - Cellular sheaths, or meninges, of the spinal
cord (protects the central nervous system).
what are the three major compartments of mature somite?
schlerotome, dermomyotome, and myotome
- is a portion of the somite that
gives rise to mesenchymal cells which
become the cartilage cells (vertebrae and
major part of each ribs
schlerotome
the remaining epithelial
portion of the somite
dermomyotome
