Chapter 12- Reporting Flashcards
The dorsal layer is the _________________, which
underlies ectoderm and, forms
the _______________
somatic (parietal) mesoderm, somatopleure
The ventral layer is the
__________________________,
which overlies endoderm and,
forms the ______________________
splanchnic (visceral) mesoderm, splanchnopleure
the space between the two layers becomes the body cavity and called _________________
coelom
In mammals, the coelom is subdivided
into the ________, ________, and ________, enveloping the
thorax, heart, and abdomen, respectively
pleural, pericardial, and
peritoneal cavities
this is the first functional unit in embryo development,
with the heart as the first functioning
organ–heart, blood cells, and an intricate
system of blood vessels.
circulatory system
Contributes to forming
the early heart structure,
including the left
ventricle, parts of the
atria, and the outflow
tract.
primary (blue)
Supports heart growth by
adding cells to the initial
structure, forming the
right ventricle, remaining
atrial parts, and the
inflow tract.
secondary (red)
It become the base of the aorta and pulmonary arteries, and the right ventricle
conus arteriosus and truncus arteriosus
Cardiogenic mesoderm
specification and heart formation
rely on signals from adjacent
endoderm, especially the anterior
region, via ______ and ______
signaling pathways. This
interplay among cell layers is
crucial for proper heart
development in embryogenesis
BMP and FGF
This is essential for heart formation; its
removal halts heart development.
Posterior endoderm lacks the
ability to induce heart cell
formation. BMPs from the
endoderm stimulate heart and
blood development
anterior endoderm
activated by BMP
signaling, is vital for cardiac
protein expression.
Fgf8
During embryonic development,
migrating cardiac precursor cells
in the posterior region encounter
rising levels of ___________________ from neighboring tissues,
especially the posterior
mesoderm.
retinoic acid (RA)
What are the two heart-forming primordia?
endocardium and mycardium
It lines the heart and is
continuous with blood
vessels.
endocardium
It will give rise to the
heart muscles that will
pump for the lifetime of
the organism
myocardium
carry nutrients from the yolk
sac into the heart’s sinus
venosus, where they flow
into the atrial region
through a valve-like flap
vitelline veins
The initial formation of blood vessels
gives rise to the complex network of arteries,
veins, and capillaries in the body
vasculogenesis
what are the three types of constraints on the construction of blood vessels?
physiological, evolutionary and physical
The embryonic
cells must obtain nourishment.
physiological constraint
Extension of
blood vessels to the yolk sac
evolutionary constraint
- Transport of fluids
performed by large tubes.
physical constraint
During vasculogenesis, a network of
blood vessels is created _________ from
the lateral plate mesoderm.
de novo
Blood vessels and blood cells are
believed to share a common precursor,
the ______________.
hemangioblast
Common progenitor blood vessels and
blood cells:
hematopoietic and endothelial
The pathway whereby ventral mesoderm cells
differentiate into hemangioblasts appears to be induced by the _______________ and the notch signaling pathway
Cdx4 gene
Phases of vasculogenesis
- cell leaving the primitive streak
- angioblast multiply and differentiate into endothelial cells
- endothelial cells form and connect to form the primary capillary plexus
this is the network of capillaries
plexus
Blood vessel formation is first seen in the _________________, where undifferentiated
mesenchyme cells cluster to form blood islands.
wall of the yolk sac
sites of vasculogenesis
extraembryonic and intraembryonic vasculogenesis
Growth factors and vasculogenesis
- basic fibroblast growth factor
- vascular endothelial growth factors
required for the generation of
hemangioblasts from the
splanchnic mesoderm, is a protein that
plays a crucial role in the
regulation of cell growth,
proliferation, and differentiation
basic fibroblast growth factor
is a protein that
plays a crucial role in the
regulation of cell growth,
proliferation, and differentiation.
bFGF
enable the differentiation of the
angioblasts and their
multiplication to form
endothelial tubes, play a crucial
role in promoting the growth of
blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis
vascular endothelial growth factors
- mediate the interaction between
the endothelial cells and the
pericytes. - are particularly important in
angiogenesis, the process by
which new blood vessels are
formed from pre-existing vessels.
angiopoietins
The critical factor for angiogenesis is
____________________
VEGF-A
can also induce the secretion of VEGFA and
induce blood vessel formation
hypoxia
During angiogenesis, some endothelial
cells in the existing blood vessel can
respond to the VEGF signal and begin
“sprouting” to form a new vessel.
These cells are known as the __________
and they differ from the other vessel
cells
tip cells
Tip cells produce _________ that
are densely packed with
VEGFR-2 (VEGF receptor-2) on
their cell surfaces.
filopodia
have an extensive coating of
smooth muscle and a rich and elastic
extracellular matrix
arteries
have less extensive musculature
and are characterized by valves that
direct the flow of blood.
veins
One of the main inducers of VEGF
proteins is ________ (low oxygen). The
HIF-loc transcription factor that
activates the VEGF-A gene (among
others) is functional only at lower
oxygen levels
hypoxia
is mainly derived from the sprouting of endothelial cells from the dorsal aorta during the initial steps of nephrogenesis
kidney vasculature
- a condition of pregnant woman
- is the leading cause of premature infants and a major cause of maternal and fetal deaths
preeclampsia
- Second circulatory system, the
_____________ ______________ - forms a separate system of vessels which is
essential for draining fluid and
transporting lymphocyte
lymphatic vasculature
