Q

what is the coelom

A

body cavity lined with mesoderm; between digestive tract & body wall

17
Q

what is cellular differentiation

A

Process & developmental stages by which cell becomes specialized for particular function

18
Q

what is morphogenesis

A

Emergence of shape & patterns in tissues, organs, or entire embryo during development

19
Q

what is pattern formation

A

positioning of cells during development determines final shape of organism

20
Q

characteristics of cellular differentiation

A

Zygote is totipotent
Cells specialize lose their totipotency
Cellular specialization caused differential gene expression
Transcription factors: segregation & induction

21
Q

what is totipotent

A

cell that has full genetic potential of the organism, including potential to develop into a complete organism

22
Q

what are maternal determinants

A

substances present in egg that influences course of development

23
Q

what is cytoplasmic segregation

A

is parceling of maternal determinants during mitosis

24
Q

what is induction

A

-Specialization influenced by both maternal determinates but also by signals of neighboring cells
-Induction: ability of one embryonic tissue to influence the development of another tissue

25
Q

what is morphogenesis

A

-Requires cells associate to form tissues & tissues give rise to organs
-Most animals share common sets of genes that direct pattern formation
-Highly conserved among animals with segmented body morphologies, including humans

26
Q

characteristics of anterior/posterior axis

A

-Establishment of anteroposterior polarity
-Polarity present in egg before fertilized
-Results from maternal determinates
-Proteins products (morphogens) diffuse away from area of highest concentration
-Forms gradients that influence patterns of tissue development

27
Q

what is segmentation pattern

A

-Gap genes come into play
-Divide anteroposterior axis into broad regions
-Temporarily activated by gradients anterior & posterior morphogens
-In turn activate pair-rules genes
-Influence segment-polarity genes

28
Q

what are homeotic genes

A

genes that control overall body plan by controlling fate of groups of cells during development

29
Q

what are homeoboxes

A

Developmental genes, shared by all animals, that orchestrate development of body plan

30
Q

what is the homeodomain

A

Conserved DNA-binding region of transcription factors encoded by homeobox of homeotic genes

31
Q

what is chorion

A

functioning for respiratory exchange in birds & reptiles; contributes to placenta formation in mammals

32
Q

what is amnion

A

forms an enclosing fluid-filled sac

33
Q

what is the yolk sac

A

extraembryonic membrane in shelled vertebrates contains yolk for nourishment of the embryo & in placental mammals is first site for blood cell formation

34
Q

what is the allantois

A

accumulates nitrogenous wastes in the eggs of reptiles, including birds; contributes to the formation of umbilical blood vessels in mammals

35
Q

emrbyonic development stages

A

-fertilization, blastocyte
-implantation in wall of uterus, gastrulation
-nervous system and heart, form umbilical cord
-head enlarges, eyes ears nose, nervous system developed
-cervix dilates, baby born, placenta delivered

36
Q

characteristics of the placenta

A

Functions in gas, nutrient, & waste exchange
Tenth week fully developed & producing progesterone & estrogen
Exchange of molecules between fetal & maternal blood take place across walls of chorionic villi

37
Q

how does the aging process work

A

as the cell divides over time the telomeres shorten, eventually signaling the cell to stop dividing (senescence)

38
Q

characteristics of damage accumulation

A

-May involve the accumulation of damage over time
-First accumulation of harmful DNA mutations or the buildup of harmful metabolites
-Second is proteins may become increasingly cross-linked with age
-Inability of organs such as blood vessels, heart, & lungs to function as they once did
-Glucose has the tendency to attach to any type of protein
-First step in a cross-linking process
