Q

VIKTOR HAMBURGER PERFORMED AN EXPERIMENT ON A GRASSHOPPER EMRBYO LIMB BUD
WHAT DID REMOVAL OF A LIMB BUD SEE
WHAT DID ADDITION OF A LIMB BUD SEE

A
REMOVAL = LESS NEURONS
ADDITION = MORE NEURONS -THERE ARE NOT MORE CELLS BUT LESS CELL DEATH

Q

WHAT DOES THE VIKTOR HAMBURGER EXPERIMENT ON A GRASSHOPPER EMRBYO LIMB BUD SHOW

A

SUGGESTS THE TARGET IS PROVIDING A TROPHIC SUPPORT TO CELLS - THESE EFFECTS ARE DUE TO CHANGES IN CELL DEATH

Q

WHAT IS THE NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR HYPOTHESIS

A
  1. NEURONS ARE PRODUCED IN EXCESS OF NEED AND ELIMINATED OVER TIME
  2. NEUROTROPHIC FACTORS EMANATE FROM TARGETS TO PROMOTE SURVIVAL ACCORDING TO TISSUE SIZE

A

TROPOMYSON RECEPTOR KINASE A IS THE RECEPTOR FOR NGF

23
Q

WHAT DOES TRK A ACTIVATE

A
LIGAND INDUCED DIMERIZATION
AUTOPHOSPHORYLATION
FORMS SIGNALLING ENDOSOME THAT TRANSPORTS TO OTHER REGIONS ACTIVATING
MAP KINASE PATHWAY - TRANSCRIPTION
AKT PATHWAY - INHIBITION OF APOPTOSIS
24

A

HIGH AFFINITY

25

A

ALL OF THEM

33
Q

THERE IS A DIFFERENTIAL DEPENDENCE BETWEEN NEURON ………………. AND NEUROTROPHINS AS WELL AS ……………………. DEPENDENCY PROFILES; NEURONS CAN BE DEPENDENT ON …………………………….. OF NEUROTROPHINS.

A

TYPES

Q

WHAT DEPENDENCY DO NEWLY BORN NEURONS HAVE ON NEUROTROPHINS AND HOW DOES THAT CHANGE

A

INITIALLY NO DEPENDENCY
NT3 SUPPORTS MANY NEURONAL TYPES IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT
ARRIVAL OF TARGET OFTEN COINCIDES WITH NEW EXPRESSION OF NEURTROPHIC FACTORS BY TARGET
