Q

What is compaction?

A

The trophoblast secretes fluid inside, forming a blastocoele that pushes the inner cell mass to one side
-> inner cell mass splits into the hypoblast and the epiblast

A

Endoderm

20
Q

What does the epiblast form?

A

Ectoderm

21
Q

How is the notochord formed?

A

Primitive streak regression

22
Q

What is the notochord?

A

A rod of cells that secrete molecules extracellularly that instruct the exoderm on top of it to become neural tissue

23
Q

What forms the neural plate?

A

Notochord secretions

24
Q

What forms the neural tube?

A

Folding of the neural plate

25
Q

Where is the neural tube found?

A

Buried in the embryo (covered by surface ectoderm)

26
Q

Where does neural tube formation start?

A

In the middle and moves out towards the edges

27
Q

What does the ectoderm form?

A

Specification of the CNS

28
Q

What does the mesoderm organise into?

A

Blocks called somites

29
Q

What are somites precursors to?

A

Muscles and bones etc

30
Q

What does folding of the embryo form?

A

Umbilical cord

31
Q

What is happening at the same time as neurulation and somitogenesis?

A

Gut formation and body folding

32
Q

What model does the embryo folding follow?

A

Cloth purse model

33
Q

What happens in embyronic folding?

A

Septum and heart move from the margin to the centre

Yolk sac, allantois and stalk make the umbilical cord

34
Q

What delimits the gut tube?

A

Prochordal and cloacal plates

35
Q

What happens in organogenesis?

A 
Differentiation of somitic derivitives
Development of sensory organs
Limb formation
Formation of facial structures
Formation of genital structures
36

A 
Egg
Fertilisation
Cleavage
Gastrulation

Organogenesis
Adult
37
Q

A

Forelimbs

38
Q

What is the establishment pattern of limb formation?

A

Proximodistal,
anterior-posterior,
dorsal-ventral

39
Q

What are the desirable characteristics of a model organism?

A 
Relevance/representitive
Accessibilty/availibility
Experimental manipulation
Genetics
Cost/space
40
Q

What are specific gene mutations?

A

Cases when mutation in one particular gene will be enough to display a characteristic defect

41
Q

What are chromosomal anomalies?

A

Whole chromosomal rearrangements responsible for a disease

42
Q

What is an example of a chromosomal abormality?

A

Trisomy 21- downs syndrome

43
Q

What is a polygenic disorder?

A

When several different genes are simultaneously affected, causing disease

44
Q

What are environmental factors?

A

Deleterious influence of the environment on a particular process
