Q

How do WBCs respond to chemical signals?

A

Cells receive signal, polymerization of actin (caused by arp 2/3 binding to atp actin monomer onto free ends of growing filaments causes cell to become polarized and moves it toward stimulus by pushing the membrane out towards it (treadmilling happens

Q

How do cells change shape during embryonic development?

A

Outer cells elongate and form a plate towards end of gastrulation. Cells constrict inwarrd, making a bracket shape bc microfilaments in apical cell region contract inward, then make hollow tube
