The trilaminar embryo has three layers: Notochord 1.Ectoderm 2.Mesoderm 3.Endoderm Endoderm Trilaminar Embryo As the third week of gestation is coming to an end, the mesoderm layer paraxial mesodermparaxial mesoderm begins to subdivide into three masses: 1.Paraxial mesoderm 1. This will become the somites. 2.Intermediate mesoderm. 1. This will give rise to much of the urogenital system. 2.Lateral plate mesoderm. 1. This will become 1. Lateral plate splanchnic mesoderm intermediate mesoderm 2. Lateral plate somatic mesoderm lateral mesoderm Ectoderm Neurulation begins with the notochord cells migrating around the primitive node. Notochord Neural Plate Ectoderm As the notochord cells migrate in a cephalic direction, the overlying ectoderm cells will begin Notochord to differentiate into neural ectoderm or the neural plate. Neural Plate Ectoderm Oral Plate The notochord and the neural PreChordal plate cells will grow cephalically.

Niswander Nature Reviews Neuroscience 6, 945-954 (December 2005) The CNS arises from a speCialized epithelium, the neural plate (1). This proCess relies on the inhibiQon of bone morphogeneQC protein (BMP) signaling. Folding of the neural plate to produCe the neural groove is triggered by the formaQon of a disQnCt hinge point in the ventral region (the floor plate; 2). At the end of neurulaQon, the lateral edges of the neural plate fuse (3) and segregate from the non- neural epithelium to form a neural tube (4). The roof plate and floor plate form at the dorsal and ventral midline of the neural tube, respeCQvely. The roof plate beComes a new organizing Centre that produCes BMPs, whiCh provide dorsal paaerning informaQon. Neural Crest Cells derive from the dorsal neural tube and migrate out to form the PNS, as well as melanoCytes and CarQlage in the head. Neural Crest Cells have been shown to form at an intermediate level of BMP signaling. Ectoderm The next stage of Neural neurulaQon in the Groove formaQon of the Neural neural tube.

NeurulaQon is nearly Complete. Lateral Body Folding • As neurulaQon oCCurs the embryo begins lateral body folding. Lateral Body Folding • Lateral body folding involves: – The eCtoderm at either end meeQng in the ventral midline. – The endoderm forming the gut tube. Lateral Body Folding • The lateral plate mesoderm will split into somaQC and splanChniC mesoderm. • In between the two the body Cavity will form. • This space on both sides will also fuse in the midline. Body cavity Somatic mesoderm Splanchnic mesoderm Lateral Body Folding • As the space between the lateral plate somaQC and splanChniC mesoderm enlarges the lateral body folding connues. Body cavity 23 Lateral Body Folding Body cavity Amniotic Cavity Gut Tube • The amnioQC Cavity will also fold around the embryo. Lateral Body Folding • The two ends of the eCtoderm, lateral plate somaQC mesoderm, lateral plate splanChniC mesoderm and the endoderm ConQnue to migrate ventrally. Lateral Body Folding • The amnioQC Cavity and the body Cavity also migrate ventrally. Lateral Body Folding • Now the amniotic cavity surround the embryo which is surrounded by ectoderm. • The fused body cavities are surrounded by lateral plate somatic mesoderm deep to the ectoderm • The lateral plate splanchnic mesoderm surround the gut tube which is a fused tube of endoderm Somatic mesoderm Splanchnic mesoderm Body Gut Tube cavity Lateral Body Folding Paraxial mesoderm Intemediate Surface eCtoderm mesoderm Neural Tube AmnioQc Cavity Body Gut Tube Cavity Chorionic Cavity The embryo is surrounded by the chorionic cavity which surrounds the amniotic cavity.

  • Development and Maintenance of Epidermal Stem Cells in Skin Adnexa
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Development and Maintenance of Epidermal Stem Cells in Skin Adnexa Jaroslav Mokry * and Rishikaysh Pisal Medical Faculty, Charles University, 500 03 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 October 2020; Accepted: 18 December 2020; Published: 20 December 2020 Abstract: The skin surface is modified by numerous appendages. These structures arise from epithelial stem cells (SCs) through the induction of epidermal placodes as a result of local signalling interplay with mesenchymal cells based on the Wnt–(Dkk4)–Eda–Shh cascade. Slight modifications of the cascade, with the participation of antagonistic signalling, decide whether multipotent epidermal SCs develop in interfollicular epidermis, scales, hair/feather follicles, nails or skin glands. This review describes the roles of epidermal SCs in the development of skin adnexa and interfollicular epidermis, as well as their maintenance. Each skin structure arises from distinct pools of epidermal SCs that are harboured in specific but different niches that control SC behaviour. Such relationships explain differences in marker and gene expression patterns between particular SC subsets. The activity of well-compartmentalized epidermal SCs is orchestrated with that of other skin cells not only along the hair cycle but also in the course of skin regeneration following injury. This review highlights several membrane markers, cytoplasmic proteins and transcription factors associated with epidermal SCs. Keywords: stem cell; epidermal placode; skin adnexa; signalling; hair pigmentation; markers; keratins 1. Epidermal Stem Cells as Units of Development 1.1. Development of the Epidermis and Placode Formation The embryonic skin at very early stages of development is covered by a surface ectoderm that is a precursor to the epidermis and its multiple derivatives.

  • The Genetic Basis of Mammalian Neurulation
    REVIEWS THE GENETIC BASIS OF MAMMALIAN NEURULATION Andrew J. Copp*, Nicholas D. E. Greene* and Jennifer N. Murdoch‡ More than 80 mutant mouse genes disrupt neurulation and allow an in-depth analysis of the underlying developmental mechanisms. Although many of the genetic mutants have been studied in only rudimentary detail, several molecular pathways can already be identified as crucial for normal neurulation. These include the planar cell-polarity pathway, which is required for the initiation of neural tube closure, and the sonic hedgehog signalling pathway that regulates neural plate bending. Mutant mice also offer an opportunity to unravel the mechanisms by which folic acid prevents neural tube defects, and to develop new therapies for folate-resistant defects. 6 ECTODERM Neurulation is a fundamental event of embryogenesis distinct locations in the brain and spinal cord .By The outer of the three that culminates in the formation of the neural tube, contrast, the mechanisms that underlie the forma- embryonic (germ) layers that which is the precursor of the brain and spinal cord.

  • Neural Crest Cells Organize the Eye Via TGF-Β and Canonical Wnt Signalling
    ARTICLE Received 18 Oct 2010 | Accepted 9 Mar 2011 | Published 5 Apr 2011 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms1269 Neural crest cells organize the eye via TGF-β and canonical Wnt signalling Timothy Grocott1, Samuel Johnson1, Andrew P. Bailey1,† & Andrea Streit1 In vertebrates, the lens and retina arise from different embryonic tissues raising the question of how they are aligned to form a functional eye. Neural crest cells are crucial for this process: in their absence, ectopic lenses develop far from the retina. Here we show, using the chick as a model system, that neural crest-derived transforming growth factor-βs activate both Smad3 and canonical Wnt signalling in the adjacent ectoderm to position the lens next to the retina. They do so by controlling Pax6 activity: although Smad3 may inhibit Pax6 protein function, its sustained downregulation requires transcriptional repression by Wnt-initiated β-catenin. We propose that the same neural crest-dependent signalling mechanism is used repeatedly to integrate different components of the eye and suggest a general role for the neural crest in coordinating central and peripheral parts of the sensory nervous system. 1 Department of Craniofacial Development, King’s College London, Guy’s Campus, London SE1 9RT, UK. †Present address: NIMR, Developmental Neurobiology, Mill Hill, London NW7 1AA, UK.

  • The Digestive System
    69 chapter four THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system is structurally divided into two main parts: a long, winding tube that carries food through its length, and a series of supportive organs outside of the tube. The long tube is called the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The GI tract extends from the mouth to the anus, and consists of the mouth, or oral cavity, the pharynx, the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, and the large intes- tine. It is here that the functions of mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption of nutrients and water, and release of solid waste material take place. The supportive organs that lie outside the GI tract are known as accessory organs, and include the teeth, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Because most organs of the digestive system lie within body cavities, you will perform a dissection procedure that exposes the cavities before you begin identifying individual organs. You will also observe the cavities and their associated membranes before proceeding with your study of the digestive system. EXPOSING THE BODY CAVITIES should feel like the wall of a stretched balloon. With your skinned cat on its dorsal side, examine the cutting lines shown in Figure 4.1 and plan 2.

  • Circulatory System
    11/7/2014 Circulatory System 1 11/7/2014 Diffusion is insufficient for transporting substances over long distances It takes 1 second for glucose to diffuse from 100 micro meters It will take 3 hours to diffuse 1 mm! Circulatory systems solves this problem by ensuring that no substances has to diffuse very far toenter or leave the cell! And it connects the cells to the organs that exchange molecules. Transport in small invertebrates Sponges Cnidarians Flatworms 2 11/7/2014 Transport in invertebrates Roundworms Fluid contained within the body cavity of pseudocoelome functions to transport nutrients and wastes but these animals do not have a heart or blood vessels. Open Circulatory System blood is pumped from the heart through blood vessels but then it leaves the blood vessels and enters body cavities, where the organs are bathed in blood. Mollusks and arthropods: (except cephalopods) have an open circulatory system. 3 11/7/2014 Open Circulatory System Arthopods The coelom carries blood (hemolymph). It is called a hemocoel The blood of insects is colorless because it lacks respiratory pigments; it functions to carry nutrients, not gases. Crustaceans and some arachnids have hemocyanin a protein with copper, not within a cell Animals with open circulatory systems generally have limited activity due to limitations in the oxygen delivery capability Insects are able to be active because gas exchange is via a tracheal system. Closed Circulatory System Blood is contained within blood vessels. Valves prevent the backflow of blood within the blood vessels. This type of circulatory system is found in vertebrates and several invertebrates including annelids, squids and octopuses 4 11/7/2014 Closed Circulatory System Earthworms have a dorsal and ventral blood vessel that runs the length of the animal.
