Lecture objectives Flashcards
gastrulation
process of separating into three layers
ectoderm
mesoderm
endoderm
neurulation
formation of neural tube
neural plate from ectoderm pinched off downward
buckles in middle and pinches
organizing centers
Spemanns organizer
hensens node
roof plate
notochord
spemanns organizer
important for differentiating dorsal region of neural tube BMP antagonists (inhibitors)
hensens node
anterior of primitive streak
moves toward tail based on gradient of retinoic acid
roof plate
same as neural plate
lacated dorsal midline of neural tube
notochord
ventral of floor plate
both releases Shh
transplant experiments
when you take organizers and add them to weird parts you see that cells had predetermined fate in the area so if you move anterior to mesoderm you get an extra head, posterior extra tail
Neural induction
basically BMP makes skin cells and has to be turned off to make neurons
BMP
bone morphogenic proteins
ventral in axis
BMP inhibitors
dorsal in axis
head =
dorsal and anterior
high BMP inhibitors
low Wnt, FGF, RA
tail =
ventral and poeterior
high BMP and high Wnt FGF and R
Wnt
high in posterior
Wnt inhibitors
high in anterior
RA
retinoic acid for hox gene stuff
low in anterior
high in posteiro
FGF
fibroblast growth factors
from isthimic organizer
low anterior
high posterior
ectoderm
skin cells and neural plate
(
neural plate
cells of neurons for central and peripheral NS
mesoderm
somites and notochord
endoderm
lowest layer
retinoic acid
hensens node
hox gene expression
segmentation of spinal chord
rhobomereses
partitions in spinal cord based on hox gene expression from retinoic acid
cells can move around within but not between after demarkation
neurogenesis developmoent
cortex
hippocampus - granule cells form subgranular zone becoming inner lining of dentate gyrus
