embryology

Question 1

what are the two reasons for nervous system organization?

Answer 1

functional and developmental

Question 2

characteristics specific to vertebrates

Answer 2

• bilaterally symmetrical
• have a head and tail
• bodies are segmented
• hollow, dorsal neural tube

Question 3

vertebrates at bilaterally symmetrical

Answer 3

• structures are situated so that they are paired and a mirrored image exists on the opposite side
• this is a developmental characteristic that is seen in some intervertebrates as well

Question 4

all vertebrates have a head and tail

Answer 4

• a zygote is polarized very early on and all systems are set up to reflect this
• alimentary canal starts at the head and ends at the tail
• the senses are all clustered around the start of the digestive canal near where we take in food
• consequently, we get a “swelling” at the front or beginning because we need to deal with all the stimuli there

Question 5

all vertebrates bodies are segmented

Answer 5

• the body is constructed of repetition of segments
• these are situated perpendicular along a long axis
• each segment developmentally produces accompanying organs and systems

Question 6

all vertebrates have a hollow, dorsal neural tube

Answer 6

intervertebrates have a solid rope-like nervous cord

Question 7

mitosis starts within ____________

Answer 7

24 hours

Question 8

in 3-4 days a sphere of cells called the ________ is formed

Answer 9

week 1

Question 10

one part of hollow ball starts to fold inward, creating 2 layers or bilaminar embryo

Answer 10

Question 29

what do the bulges eventually grow and create?

when does this happen?

happens by the end of week 4
