True

45

The pharyngeal arches can be modified to give rise to a whole range of structures. If there is a congenital defect in the arches early in the development it will translate into the adult, giving rise to problems of apparently unrelated structures.

59
Q

Fill-in the blank: The limb is a location where the __________ genes play a crucial role in setting this __________ information.

A

The limb is a location where the Hox genes play a crucial role in setting this positional information.

60

the ___________ is initially continuous with the yolk sac.

73
Q

Fill-in the blank (explanation of the process that forms the coelum): _____ _____ splits longitudinally so that you have two sheets of mesoderm with a space in the middle that is open to the outside world: _____ (inner) and _____ (outer) mesoderm.) These two edges start to sling inwards towards the midline and then the ______ mesoderm and the _______ come together in the midline. The ______ is initially continuous with the yolk sac so the space that becomes the lumen of the gut is eventually _____ __, with the anterior end becoming the _______ and the posterior end becoming the ______.

A

Lateral mesoderm splits longitudinally so that you have two sheets of mesoderm with a space in the middle that is open to the outside world: splanchnic (inner) and somatic (outer) mesoderm.) These two edges start to sling inwards towards the midline so and then the splanchnic mesoderm and the endoderm come together in the midline.
