Q

How is PMZ similar to NC?

A

It secretes Vg1 (nodal protein) and it is localized to the side due to BMP4 inhibition and nodal proteins are needed for primitive streak formation

Q

What are the trophoblast cells?

A

Totipotent cells that can make any embyronic structure

32
Q

What do trophoblast cells do in humans?

A

Make hormones by embedding in the uterus to prevent fetus rejection

33
Q

Do mammals receive nutrients from their yolk sac?

A

No from the mother through the placenta

34
Q

How is the placenta made?

A

When the trophoblast cells bind to the mesoderm to make a capillary-rich chorion structure

35
Q

The ICM makes the epiblast which makes what?

A

Amnion, allantois and the embyro

36
Q

The ICM makes the primitve endoderm which makes what?

A

Yolk sac

37
Q

A

The primitive endoderm and the epiblast

38
Q

What makes the amnion with amniotic fluid?

A

Epiblast cells

39
Q

How does the epiblast cells make the endoderm and the mesoderm?

A

Through EMT

40
Q

What is the node?

A

A thickened bulb of cells at the anterior of the primitive streak that makes the mesoderm and the notochord

41
Q

Between the trophoblast and the epiblast what structure is initiated?

A

The primitive streak

42
Q

What is the NC equivalent in zebrafish?

A

Yolk syncitial layer

Q

Where does the B-catenin build up?

A
