  1. Epidermal induction 2. Expression of Shh by Edar stimulates formation of dermal papilla below epidermal placode
132
Q

Induction of hair germ (3)

A
  1. Dermal induction 2. Various inducers from dermal papilla along w/ Shh and Cyclin D1 in epidermal placode stimulate further down growth of proliferation of epidermal placodes 3. Final differentiation of hair primordial involves Hox genes
133
Q

Milk Lines

A

Two bands ectodermal thickenings running along ventrolateral body walls in embryos of both genders at 6 weeks -First morphological evidence -Marked by expression of Wnts within ectodermal cells

134
Q

Development of mammary glands

A

1) Wnt expression marks milk lines 2) Thickened milk lines -> fragmentation Rest -> primordial mammary glands 3) mammary placodes formed by inductive neuregulin-3 4) Tbx-3: marks dorsoventral location 5) PTH: increases sensitivity to BMP-4 6) BMP-4 signal to effects a. further down growth of bud b. expression Msx-2: inhibits formation hair follicle at nipple 7) Shaping of duct done by fatty component of CT

135
Q

Wnts

A

Expression of various Wnt inside the ectodermal cells marks the milk lines

136
Q

Induces individal mammary placodes to form from the aggregation and proliferation of ectodermal cells of the milk lines

A

Neurogluin-3

137
Q

Marks the dorsoventral location of the mammary placodes

A

Tbx-3

138
Q

Increases sensitivity of underlying mesenchymal to BMP-4

A

PTH

139
Q

Signals within the underlying mesenchyme to stimulate further down growth of mammary bud and stimulate expression of Msx-2

A

BMP-4

140
Q

Inhibits the formation of hair follicles in the region of the nipple

A

Msx-2

141
Q

Mesodermal sclerotomes (of somites) is mesenchymal origin of what?

A

Vertebral columns Ribs Sternum

142
Q

Lateral plate mesoderm is mesenchymal origin of what?

A

Limb bones Girdles

143
Q

Head mesoderm is mesenchymal origin of what?

A

Calvaria and base of skull

144
Q

Neural crest is mesencymal origin of what?

A

Facial bones

145
Q

Common pathway

A
  1. Mesenchyme is induced to enter common pathway 2. Production of N-cadherins which promotes mesenchymal condensation 3. TGF-beta stimulates synthesis of fibronectin and N-CAM 4. Aggregated state of mesenchymal cells is stabilized
146
Q

Membranous bone pathway

A
  1. Required transcription factors Runx-2 and Osm 2. Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts
147
Q

Permanent cartilage pathway

A
  1. Mesenchymal condensation forms chondroblasts 2. Sox-9 causes chondroblasts to secrete collagen II and cartilage matrix 3. Sox-9 is continually expressed in permanent cartilage
148
Q

Endocondral bone pathway

A
  1. Runx-2, ihh, and BMP-6 induce this cartilage to undergo hypertrophy 2. Hypertrophy cartilage secrete boen proteins and vascular endothelial growth factor 3. Invading blood vessels erode the hypertrophic cartilage and bring osteoblasts in to replace cartilage with bone
149

150
Q

Neural arches derived from

A

Dorsal regions of sclerotomes

151
Q

Costal processes/Ribs

A

-Proximal development depends on expression of Myf-5, Myf-6 -Distal development depends on BMP signals from somatopleural mesoderm
