Development Flashcards
Stages of development
cleavage, blastula formation, gastrulation, neuralation
cleavage ID
rapid division to form a morula - SOLID BALL OF CELLS
look @ differences btwn animal and vegetal pole, slower division so larger cells in the vegetal pole
blastula formation ID
continued cell division, undifferentiated cells with a hollow space in the center - the BLASTOCOEL
gastrulation ID
*DIFFERENTIATION of cells into the 3 embryonic germ layers: mesoderm, ectoderm, endoderm
***before migration, ectoderm forms in the animal pole before migrating to surround the embryo
- cells from outer surface migrate inwards through BLASTOPORE (endoderm from the veg pole to the interior)
*the space they form is the ARCHENTERON
*displace the blastocoel
*in vertebrates, blastopore forms in the posterior of the embryo
neurulation ID/steps
- Notochord releases proteins signal to ectoderm dorsal to noto to differentiate into NEURAL PLATE ECTODERM
- neural plate ecto bends along midline, NEURAL GROOVE w/ NEURAL FOLD on either side
- neural folds fuse to form NEURAL TUBE, neural plate cells diff from neural tube, forming NEURAL CREST CELLS (mesenchymal) which eventually form the peripheral nervous system
- Mesoderm differentiates into MESOMERE, HYPOMERE, EPIMERE
- Hypomere mesoderm diff into SPLANCHNIC (inside), SOMATIC (exterior) w COELOM in the middle!!!
Memo embryonic germ layer fates - in lab deck!!!!!
single fertilized egg
zygote
animal v vegetal pole
high yolk concentration at the vegetal pole, slowing division
morula
solid ball of cells
blastula
hollow ball of cells (space in middle is blastocoel)
yolk plug
region of slow endodermal cells during gastrulation , next to the blastopore
archenteron
gives rise to the digestive tract
coelom
forms during neurulation from differentiation of hypomere mesoderm
becomes the body’s main cavities
differentiation of mesoderm during neurulation
* see summary for diagram*
EPIMERE - SOMITES in trunk region, big chunk right next to notochord/neural tube
**further diff into DERMATOME, SCLEROTOME, MYOTOME - if u drew a triangle on the somite dermatome is the upper point, sclerotome is the medial point, myotome is the lateral point
HYPOMERE - lateral regions of embryo, next to archenteron and endoderm. Differentiates into splanchnic and somatic hypomere mesoderm
MESOMERE - little bulge between epimere and hypomere
little vs med vs lots of yolk - what taxa?
microlecithal - tiny amt yolk (eutharian animals)
mesolecithal - middle amt yolk (amphibians)
macrolecithal - lots of yolk (many birds/fish)
