Q

Gastrulation in chicken

A

-before gastrulation, embryo is made of upper/lower layer (epiblast and hypoblast)
-during gast. epiblast cells move towards midline of blastoderm and into embryo towards yolk

Q

blastocyst

A

-human equivalent of blastula
-human gast.

24
Q

innner cell mass

A

-cluster of cells at one end of blastocyst
-human gast.

25
Q

trophoblast

A

-outer epithelial layer of blastocyst
-does not contribute to embryo
-initiates implantation
-human gast.

26
Q

extraembryonic membranes (EEM)

A

-following implantation, trophoblast continues to expand and set of EEM is formed

27
Q

4 embryonic membranes that form embryo

A

-chorion: gas exchange
-amnion: encloses amniotic fluid
-yolk sac: encloses yolk
-allantois: disposes of waste products and contributes to gas exchange

28
Q

neural crest cells

A

-form along neural tube of vertebrates
-form nerves, parts of teeth, skull bones in embryo

29
Q

somites

A

-blocks that mesoderm forms
-give rise to cells that form vertebrae and ribs

30
Q

microtubuls

A
31
Q

actin filaments

A
32
Q

convergent extension

A

-rearrangement of cells of a tissue that cause it to become narrower or longer

A

-programmed cell death

34
Q

A

-group of cells becomes commited to a particular fate

35
Q

A

-specialization of cells in structure and function
-cells in multicellular organism share same genome
