27
Q

The dermatome becomes

A

Dermis

28

Lateral mesoderm becomes what 3 divisions

A

Splanchnic (circulatory system) and viscera
Somatic (body cavity)
Extra-embryonic

30
Q

The _______ is an evolutionarily conserved intercellular signaling pathway that regulates interactions between physically adjacent cells

A

Notch signaling network

31
Q

Molecular regulation of somite formation is largely regulated by

A

Notch signaling network

32
Q

_____ protein accumulates in presomitic mesoderm destined to form the next somite and then decreases as that somite is established. The increase in ____ protein activates other segment-patterning genes that establish the somite

A

Notch, Notch

33
Q

Boundaries for each somite are regulated by ______ and a combination of ____ and _____

A

Retinoic acid (RA), FGF8, WNT3a

34
Q

_____ is expressed at high concentrations cranially and decreases in concentration caudally during somite formation

A

Retinoic Acid (RA)

35
Q

During somite formation ___ and ____ are expressed at higher concentrations caudally and lower ones cranially

A

FGF8 and WNT3a

36
Q

The overlapping expresion gradients of ____, ____, ____ control the segmentation clock and activity of the NOTCH pathway

A

Retinoic acid, FGF8 and WNT3a

37
Q

In snakes the segmentation clock ticks fast or slower than humans

A

around 4 times faster

38
Q

What are the three divisions of a somite

A

Sclerotome, Dermamyotome ( which divides into dermatome and myotome)

39
Q

Where is the sclerotome located

A

ventromedial portion closest to the notochord

40
Q

The dermatome forms the

A

dermis (located under the epidermis in the skin)

41
Q

What does myotome give rise to

A

muscles

42
Q

Explain resegmentation

A

takes place only in the sclerotome. the rostral and caudal halves of somites segregate, and re-fuse with their neighbouring halves to form vertebra this is important for creating a space that spinal nerves go through

Q

The notochord forms the _______ in intervertebral disk (between vertebra)

A

Q

Hox 5 leads to the formation of
