Q

what signalling molecule is secreted from notochord and is key in neural plate synthesis?

A

shh

18
Q

where are neural crest cells?

A

above neural plate

19
Q

what do neural crest cells give rise to?

A

PNS

20
Q

where and how does a neuron undergo to specialise as a neuron cell?

A

undergoes neurogenesis in CNS

21
Q

What signalling pathway has a role in lateral inhibition?

A

delta-notch pathway

22
Q

what does delta-notch signalling pathway do?

A

inhibits neighbouring cells from differentiating

23
Q

why is hox code neccessary?

A

to ensure the right shape of vertebrate forms in the right place

24
Q

what happens if hox code is changed?

A

nerve projection changes

25
Q

what is the fate of somite cells?

A

muscle blocks of body wall and vertebrate of backbone

26
Q

how does spatial organisation occur

?

A

cells are influenced by multiple cell signals in embryo

27
Q

what does lateral plate mesoderm split into?

A

dorsal and ventral cavity formed in between called coelom cavity

28
Q

dorsal side of mesoderm plate forms

A

body wall (with overlying ectoderm)

29
Q

ventral side of mesoderm plate forms

A

heart and circulatory system

30
Q

what is the first functioning organ?

A

heart

31
Q

what is mesenchyme

A

a tissue organisation where cells are loosely connected to one another

32
Q

what does mesenchyme differentiate into

A

circulatory system, connective tissue, cartilage and bone

33
Q

what changes heart from tube morphologically?

A

looping and septation

34
Q

key pathway in heart formation

A

BMP, Tbox TF, Wnt, Notch

35
Q

What does BMP do?

A

controls expression of an important TF needed to differentiate heart muscles Nkxx2.5

36
Q

what are 2 neccessary systems for development

A

extensive branching morphogenesis and mesenchymal to epithelial transition

37
Q

what is vasculogenesis

A

angioblast cells assemble into vessels thorugh mesenchymal to epithelial transition

38
Q

what are the 2 phases of blood production?

A

embryonic phase and definitive phase

39
Q

what are stem cells in bone marrow called?

A

haematopoietic stem cells

40
Q

what tubes does endoderm produce during folding?

A

digestive and respiratory tract

41
Q

what 2 signalling pathways work together for branching of lungs?

A

fgf-10 (induces branching) and shh (limits outgrowth)
