What is the term for the process by which one tissue influences the development of another?
Induction
What is the role of the lens in eye development?
It induces the surface ectoderm to become the lens
What is the result of the optic vesicle inducing the surface ectoderm?

What is the significance of reciprocal inductions in development?
They allow for transient functions in building organs
What is the term for the process by which cells from one tissue interact with cells from another tissue?
Epithelial-mesenchymal interaction
What is the role of Pax6 in development?
It regulates tissue development and organogenesis
Explore the regulation of cell behaviors such as adhesion, migration, differentiation, and division through intercellular signals. Learn how these interactions shape organ development, using the vertebrate eye as a classic example.
