Q

why are cilia used for cell signaling?

A
  1. cilum concnetrates the signal with a high receptor surface to volume ratio
  2. signal is localized
  3. signal is polarized
  4. receptors are positioned away from the interfering cellular domains
  5. cilium can function as a mechanical detector of flow

20
Q

An example of the coordinated efforts of both motile and sensory cilia function during
development is the _____

A

ciliary node that establishes the left-right asymmetry of the body
plan (laterality)

21
Q

The ciliary node is an ____

A

invagination of ciliated cells that forms during gastrulation on the midplate after anterior-posterior positioning is already established

22
Q

Nodal cilia possess a ____ The signals are then detected by _______.

A

9+0 organization yet they beat in a rotary fashion (at 600 rpm!) to produce a net leftward flow of signaling molecules / morphogens.

non-motile sensory cilia that reside near the periphery of the ciliary node to
signal organogenesis
