Induction and Primary Neural Indication. Flashcards
Define instructive induction?
Instructive induction is where an inducing tissue will instruct the developing cell to go down a certain pathway.
Give an example of instructive induction?
An example would be primary induction where the anterior chordamesoderm instructs the gastrula ectoderm to form forebrain neural tissue.
Define permissive induction?
Permissive induction is where inducing tissue provides environmental conditions necessary for differentiation.
This could be in the form of raw materials that one cell can use to help it down a certain pathway.
What is somite chondrogenesis?
Where extra-cellular matrix is excreted by the notochord and neural tube, this permits sclerotome cells to form cartilage.
Chondrogenesis is what kind of induction?
Permissive.
Is induction is part of regulative development?
Yes.
What occurs, later on, inductive or mosaic development?
Inductive.
The cells that undergo induction are what kind of cells?
Pluripotent.
Can a blastomere from a regulative developer make a whole organism?
Yes.
If cells in a regulative developer are re-located, what effect does this have on development?
No effect.
If cells in a regulative developer are re-located, what effect does this have on development?
Serious effects.
How does cell determination become more restricted in a regulative developer?
As development proceeds.
At the gastrula stage, what cells are formed?
Ectoderm.
Mesoderm.
Endoderm.
What stimulus are diffusible molecules?
An excreted protein which will bind to cell surface receptors on the competent cell.
Diffusible molecules, extracellular matrix components, cell-cell contact and physical inductions are examples of what?
Stimuli.
What is the most common stimulus for regulative developers?
Diffusible molecules.
What stimulus are extracellular matrix components?
These occur when one cell excretes proteins that are building molecules for the receiving cell to make structures with.
What stimulus is cell-cell contact?
Communication via gap junctions and the sharing of molecules through these pores.
What stimulus are physical inductions?
A physical force from one cell that causes changes in another cell.
Define the inducer?
The inducer is the cell that sends a development signal, usually in the form of an excreted protein.
Define the compotent?
This cell will receive information and act on it to differentiate.
Describe how competence can be transient?
A cell expressing the receptors for a particular protein, may not receive that protein.
It will then express the receptors for a different protein.
Sea urchins use regulative development until what stage?
The 8 cells stage.
Can the animal cells in a sea urchin make a complete organism after the 8 cell stage?
No.
If the sea urchin embryo is split into the left and right side, containing both animal and vegetal blastomeres then how will development proceed?
As normal.
