von baer's laws 4 generalizations of vertebrate development


first generalization general features of a large group of animals appear earlier in development than
do specialized features of a smaller group


second generalization less general characters develop more general and then appear more specialized


third generalization the embryo of a species departs more and more from lower animals


fourth generalization the early embryo of a higher animal is never like a lower animal but only like its
early embryo


stages of development fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation, organogenesis, metamorphosis,
gametogenesis


3 germ layers formed during gastrulation ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm


ectoderm outer layer, skin, brain, neural crest


mesoderm middle layer, blood, heart, bones


endoderm inner layer, digestive tube and lungs


specification definition the first stage of commitment of cell or tissue fate where it differentiates
autonomously, can be reversed


induction definition the process where one cell population influences the development of
neighboring cells via close range interactions

, differentiation definition when an unspecialized cell becomes specialized


autonomous specification definition invariant cleavage produces the same lineage in each embryo of the species,
specification precedes cell migration


what specification do most invertebrates use autonomous and conditional specification


conditional specification definition cells are pluripotent, cell fate restricted on external cues but is malleable


fate map definition identification of groups of cells in the gastrula that will become a particular tissue
in adults


method 1 for fate mapping tracking inject cells with fluorescent tracking dye and see where they go


method 2 for fate mapping tracking transplant cells from quail embryo into chick, see where they go


where do the enteric nervous system and PNS come the neural crest
from


discovery of the spemann-mangold organizer discovered that transplanting cells from the blastopore lip of a blastula to another
embryo resulted in the formation of a second axis/nervous system


the organizer definition a piece of tissue in blastula that can program the cells around it to become the
body axis


where is the organizer formed at the dorsal blastopore lip


how does the organizer work it involutes and becomes mesoderm


which part of the organizer involutes first the anterior part


primary embryonic induction definition the process where the CNS forms through interactions with underlying mesoderm


functions of the organizer initiates movement of gastrulation, induces the formation of mesoderm, induces
the ectoderm to form the neural tube


what is the notochord a rod of mesodermal cells that is necessary for nervous system induction and
patterning


what does the organizer turn into the notochord


what is the nervous system inducing factor inhibition of one critical factor so ectoderm can become the nervous system


bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) a small protein that activates a BMP receptor and leads to the phosphorylation of
SMAD which enters the nucleus and activates transcription of target genes


how does BMP impact neural induction secreted by the mesoderm and induces ectoderm to become epidermis, the BMP
inhibitors from notochord and other organizer derived tissues prevent ectoderm
from becoming epidermis
