Fill in the hole:
Gastrulation rearranges the ____ to form a 3 layered embryo with a _____
blastula
primative gut
Gastrulation in the sea urchin
Begins at vegetal pole
Mesenchyme cells migrate into the blastocoel
Remailing flatten to form the vegetal plate, which invaginates and becomes the archeteron (primitive gut) the blastopore gives rise to the anus and the new opening is the oral pore
Frog gastrulation
gray crescent shifts and where it was located an invagination forms becoming the dorsal lip of the blastopore

Cells move over the surface inward
they create a single layer called the blastodic
this separates into hypoblast and epiblast
the embryo forms from the epiblast
some move in and detach and thicken (primitive streak) The epiblasts displace hypoblast and form endoderm
the epiblast move laterally into the blastocoel, and make mesoderm
Remainnig epiblast are ectoderm

Dorsal mesoderm make the notochord above the archenteron
This signals the ectoderm to become the neural plate which curves inward and makes the neural tube
The neural tube becomes the brain and spinal chord
In developing the brain and spinal chord vertebrates may develop a 4th germ layer how does this happen?
The nerual crest cells migrate through the embryo forming many celltypes of the 4th germ layer
What other characteristics set mammalian development apart?
Little eggs with little food, early SLOW cleavage, with equal sized no growth blastomeres, Completion of cleavage has more than 100 cells around a central cavity
How does the allantois and the chorion work together?
They work with exchange of gases and respiratory organs.
What helps the embryo dispose of waste?
Allantois acts as a disposal sac
Sometimes a horny mother will have sex, how come the mechanical shock does not kill the embryo
there is a chorion that cushions the embryo
What does a yolk sac do?
Do humans have a yolk sac? What does it do?
It provides nutrients to the embryo
humans do it is for decoration
What forms the coelom?
Lateral to somites, the mesoderm splits into two layers that form the lining of the coelom; coelom from triploblasts
In mammals, the coelom forms the peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities.
What do somites form into?
strips of mesoderm lateral to the notochord, and muscles associated w the axial skeleton
what does fertilization of an egg by a sperm cell produce?
zygote
Two places information that directs the initiation of development is stored
mRNA / protein molecules
and the zygote's nucleus
What are cytoplasmic determinants
The mRNA and proteins that store info and direct the first few stages of development
In the from 12 cleavage divisions produce an embryo of about 4000 cells

Along with differntiation, determination, induction, selective cell adhesion there are two more mechanisms which accomplish development in animals what are they?
Mitosis and cell movement
primary vs secondary mesenchyme cells
primary form the future mesoderm, the secondary are on top of the invaginated vegetal plate,
In amphibians when does gastrulation begin?
When cells from the animal pole move across the embryo surface and reach the gray crescent. They invaginate and produce a depression. They migrate into the blastopore and involute.

yolk sac ; extensions mesoderm endoderm
chorion ecto derm mesoderm
allntoic membrane mesoderm endoderm
On either side of the notochord, the mesoderm sparates into blocks of cells called
somites
Where does the brain form from?
Anterior end of the neural tube from a cluster of hollow vesicles
What do the eyes develop from?
At the end of the neural tube one paired set of hollow sesicles forms the optic vesicles which form into the eyes.
When optic vesicles contact overlying ectoderm what does the ectoderm form into?
they thicken into the lens placode. The center sinks in and fuses with the optic cup forming a ball of cells called the lens vesicle
How do the elastic crystal clear lens of the eyes develop?
When the lens cells synthesize crystallin they lose their nuclei
What gives rise to the cornea?
the lens contacting overlying ectoderm, which lose their pigment granules becoming clear
