Vegetal Hemisphere
Which structure is involved in the movement of primary mesenchyme cells in sea urchin gastrulation?
Blastopore
What do primary mesenchyme cells secrete during their movement in sea urchin gastrulation?
Enzymes
Which layer in gastrulation forms the innermost layer that becomes the digestive and respiratory tract?
Endoderm
What is the final outcome of mesoderm development during gastrulation?
Muscles and organs
What is the primary function of the hypoblast during gastrulation in the chick embryo?
To serve as a supportive layer and be displaced by migrating endoderm cells
Which of the following is the correct sequence of events during primitive streak formation in the chick embryo?
The posterior epiblast cells change shape and thicken, forming the primitive streak, and cells then migrate and converge at the primitive streak.
Which of the following is the correct description of the primitive groove in the chick embryo?
The primitive groove is an elongated blastopore through which cells ingress during gastrulation.
What is the primary function of Hensen's node during gastrulation in the chick embryo?
Hensen's node is the organizing center that coordinates the development of the embryonic layers.
Which of the following statements about the contributions of the epiblast and hypoblast during gastrulation in the chick embryo is correct?
The epiblast forms the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm layers, while the hypoblast serves as a supportive layer and is displaced by migrating endoderm cells.
What is the relationship between the primitive streak, primitive groove, and Hensen's node in the chick embryo during gastrulation?
The primitive streak forms first, and then the primitive groove and Hensen's node develop within it.
Which of the following is the correct description of the relationship between the primitive streak and the formation of the three main embryonic layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) in the chick embryo?
The primitive streak is responsible for the formation of all three embryonic layers.
What is the primary function of the primitive groove during gastrulation in the chick embryo?
The primitive groove is the region where cells ingress during the process of gastrulation.
What do Notochord Neural Crest cells go on to form?
Peripheral nerves
Where do Somites form along the developing embryo?
Head-to-tail axis
What structure do Ganglia serve as?
Information relay structures to and from the central nervous system
What do Neural Crest Cells lead to the formation of?
Melanocytes, Cranial Nerves, and Ganglia
Which part of the neural tube forms the spinal cord?
Posterior portion
What controls eating, sleeping, emotions, and reproductive functions?
Forebrain
Which part of the neural tube initially forms the brain?
Forebrain
What is the main function of Somites?
Form skeletal muscle
What is the primary role of the notochord in neural tube development?
Releasing signaling molecules like Sonic hedgehog (Shh) to pattern the neural tube
What is the role of the ectoderm in neural tube patterning?
It secretes BMP proteins that establish a signaling gradient in the neural tube
Which of the following statements about Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is correct?
It is a secreted signaling protein produced by the notochord
What is the primary function of the signaling gradients established by Shh and BMP in the developing neural tube?
To provide positional information for cell differentiation
Which of the following cell types initially develops from the neural tube?
Motor neurons
What is the primary function of TGF proteins in neural tube development?
Promoting neural crest cell migration
Which of the following statements about the neural crest cells is correct?
They originate from the ectoderm
What is the primary function of BMP proteins in neural tube patterning?
Establishing a signaling gradient for cell differentiation
