24
Q

T/F

lymphatic vessels differentiate and form in the embryoo as a result of the same growth factor that is necessary for the formation of blood vessels.

25
T/F it is important ot reach the 28th week of gestation before a premature delivery. the reason given in your study guide is that this is when surfactant is typically produced to maintain compliance of the alveoli
true
26
T/F the presumptive heart cells or "cardiogenic mesoderm" first develop in the primitive streak
true
27
T/F the lateral plate mesoderm along with input from the endoderm germ layer, leads to formation of the heart and associated structures, ie, vessels and blood
true
28
T/F rather than forming simultaneously down the nerual tube, somites are first formed down one side of the neural tube ans then down the other side of the tube directly across from each other
false
29
T/F the heart forst begins to pulsate after it has gone through the looping process
false
30
T/F the hematopoiesis process begins to occur in the bone marroe during approximately the 28th week of gestation
true
31
T/F the process of erythropoiesis is primary under control of the heart which secretes a hormone to stimulate the liver
false
32
T/F somite formation utilizes the same signaling process as was seen in juxtacrine attachment of cells to determine theor specific location
true
33
T/F injections of testosterone and HGH may both be potential tools to stop or slow the ageing process
true
34
T/F prior to "looping" of the heart tube, the presumptive ventricles are located at the lower, or distal end of the tube although they will eventually form the upper chambers of the heart
false
35
T/F somites begin to form down the neural tube from the lateral plate mesoderm
false
36
T/F from the beginning of its formation, the embryonic heart is a single tube with two atrial chambers and two ventricular chambers
false
37
T/F we can see now why the nervous system is one of the first to develop within the growing embryo/fetus since the physiology of the pulsating heart will rely on some innervation
true
38
T/F blastemas have been shown to induce regeneration by directly infucing or injecting Ffg2 into them in the absence of an intact nervous system innervation
true
39
T/F certain "gene groups" have been identified that when expressed may lead to a longer life span. Also, shorter stature people may also have a genetic mutation linked to a longer life, (such as the story of Sadie Kaplan)
true
40
T/F the respiratory system (tube) is the first to begin formation out of the endoderm germ layer followed by the beginnings of the digestive system (tube)
false
41
during fissure formation, the separation of individual somites requires this protein
tyrosine kinase
42
protein which induces myotome formation and the synthesis of muscle
MyoD
43
inducing factors from the ____ and neural tube stimulate the commitment of somites into scleotome, dermatome and myotome
notochord
44
gene segment that helps to produce cadherin and fuse the two heart halves into one tube
GATA 4
45
endochondral ossification is the formation of bone from which of your choices?
fibrous connective tissue
46
which of the above, forms the peripheral nervous system?
neural crest cells
47
what produces the epithelial covering around the somites
cardiogenic mesoderm
48
serves to shape the atrioventricular channels
endocardial cushion cells
49
the process which orients the presumptive heart tube into "normal" configuration
looping
50
which division of somites will eventually produce the vertebrae and rib cartilage?
sclerotome
