He supports my academic, professional, and personal decisions, and is always ready to make me laugh. Also thank you to The Roodles, Sky and Gunner, my study buddies and stress relievers. There is no love like that of a dog, and these two provide endless opportunities to both run around and take in the fresh air or to just sit back and enjoy life. I would also like to thank my parents and sisters (two-thirds of the Cassidy Sister Trifecta) for the years of encouragement and support. I am so blessed to have them as role models, sounding boards, and lifelong supports. My research committee – Drs. Valerie Dean O’Loughlin, James Brokaw, David Flinders, Katie Kearns, and Polly Husmann – gave valuable comments and thoughtful advice during the development of this dissertation research. Each member provided an invaluable perspective to my education, research, and professional development, and they truly deserve the moniker of my Doctoral Dream Team. It is with deep gratitude that I also thank Dr. Valerie Dean O’Loughlin for serving as my advisor and mentor at Indiana University for the past five years. I can’t begin to express how instrumental she was in helping me to develop as an educator, researcher, professional, and enthusiastic proponent of the anatomical sciences. She has the ability to know exactly when I need humor, professional advice, a sympathetic ear, or a situation- specific meme. Valerie is the best, and I look forward to many more years of learning and laughter. v Also, I would like to express to Dr. Katie Kearns how deeply I appreciated her as my supervisor for my position as the graduate assistant for the past three years at the Indiana University Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITL). I have learned so much about the scholarship of teaching ad learning in disciplines both close to and far outside of the anatomical sciences. Katie has taught me how to work effectively, efficiently, and enthusiastically in all areas of life, and I am constantly impressed by her. There are many individuals and groups of people to whom I want to extend my thanks for the camaraderie, lessons, humor, and professional and personal growth I experienced during our interactions. These include fellow graduate students, especially in the Hotroom and at Table 4; Medical Sciences faculty and staff, particularly Jackie Cullison for her assistance in interview transcription; Past students and co-instructors; CITL coworkers; Learning communities and formal and informal writing groups; Fellow dog park and daycare friends; and my professional organizations, particularly the American Association of Anatomists and the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society. And finally, a reverent thank you to the individuals who choose to donate their bodies to medical education. Your practicality and altruistic actions towards bettering our understanding of anatomy and improving the education of future healthcare professionals never ceases to amaze me. May your gift serve to inspire others to do the same. vi Keely Marie Cassidy EMBRYOLOGY IN MEDICAL EDUCATION: A MIXED METHODS STUDY AND PHENOMENOLOGY OF FACULTY AND FIRST YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS The anatomical sciences are experiencing a notable decrease in the time and resources devoted to embryology in North American medical education. With more changes assured, it is necessary to investigate the current trends in curriculum, pedagogy, and related experiences of embryology teachers and learners. To address these concerns, the researcher developed two online mixed methods surveys: one for current anatomy and embryology faculty and another for first year medical students. The faculty survey was followed by interviews with volunteers from that cohort. The researcher used a grounded theory methodology to analyze the qualitative components of the surveys, and descriptive statistics to analyze the quantitative components of the surveys. Both the faculty and student surveys illuminated the vast differences between the explicit, implicit, and null curricular components found in the numerous medical education programs represented. A combined grounded theory methodology and phenomenological approach was used to analyze the interviews with faculty. This generated a lived experience narrative of the phenomenon of teaching embryological content to medical students in the modern world, which led to a better understanding of the needs and challenges that face this subject matter and those who teach it. In this fluid era of medical education reform and integration, the perceptions and experiences of anatomy and embryology faculty and first year medical students are invaluable to assessing the curriculum and pedagogy of vii this foundational anatomical science and formulating evidence-based recommendations for the future.

  • Equine Placenta – Marvelous Organ and a Lethal Weapon
    Equine placenta – marvelous organ and a lethal weapon Malgorzata Pozor, DVM, PhD, Diplomate ACT Introduction Placenta has been defined as: „an apposition between parent (usually maternal) and fetal tissue in order to establish physiological exchange” (1). Another definition of this important organ was proposed by Steven and Morris: „a device consisting of one or more transport epithelia located between fetal and maternal blood supply” (2). The main function of placenta is to provide an interface between the dam and the the fetus and to allow the metabolic exchange of the the nutrients, oxygen and waste material. The maternal circulation is brought into a close apposition to the fetal circulation, while a separation of these two circulatory systems remain separated (3). A degree and complexity of this „intimate relationship” varies greately between species mostly due to the structural diversity of the extraembryonic membranes of the vertebrates. The early feto-maternal exchange in the equine pregnancy is established as early as on day 22 after fertilization. The fetal and choriovitellin circulations are already present, the capsule ruptures and the allantois is already visible (4). The allantois starts expanding by day 32 and vascularizes approximately 90% of the chorion and fuses with it to form chorioallantois by day 38 of gestation (5). The equine placenta continues increasing its complexity till approximately day 150 of gestation. Equids have epitheliochorial placenta, there are six leyers separating maternal and fetal circulation, and there are no erosion of the luminal, maternal epithelium, like in ruminants (6). Thousands of small chorionic microvilli develop and penetrate into endometrial invaginations.

  • 4 Extraembryonic Membranes
    Implantation, Extraembryonic Membranes, Placental Structure and Classification A t t a c h m e n t and Implantation Implantation is the first stage in development of the placenta. In most cases, implantation is preceded by a close interaction of embryonic trophoblast and endometrial epithelial cells that is known as adhesion or attachment. Implantation also is known as the stage where the blastocyst embeds itself in the endometrium, the inner membrane of the uterus. This usually occurs near the top of the uterus and on the posterior wall. Among other things, attachment involves a tight intertwining of microvilli on the maternal and embryonic cells. Following attachment, the blastocyst is no longer easily flushed from the lumen of the uterus. In species that carry multiple offspring, attachment is preceeded by a remarkably even spacing of embryos through the uterus. This process appears to result from uterine contractions and in some cases involves migration of embryos from one uterine horn to another (transuterine migration). The effect of implantation in all cases is to obtain very close apposition between embryonic and maternal tissues. There are, however, substantial differences among species in the process of implantation, particularly with regard to "invasiveness," or how much the embryo erodes into maternal tissue. In species like horses and pigs, attachment and implantation are essentially equivalent. In contrast, implantation in humans involves the embryo eroding deeply into the substance of the uterus. •Centric: the embryo expands to a large size before implantation, then remains in the center of the uterus. Examples include carnivores, ruminants, horses, and pigs. •Eccentric: The blastocyst is small and implants within the endometrium on the side of the uterus, usually opposite to the mesometrium.

RESUMEN: En el área de la embriología, y en relación al uso de Terminologia Embryologica (TE), existen términos que son utilizados y que no se corresponden con ésta última. Pero a esta situación clásica, desde el origen de Nomina Anatomica de Basilea en 1895, se suma la ausencia de términos embriológicos en TE y que son diariamente reconocidos y nombrados en la práctica clínica. Además, no existe aún traducción oficial al español de TE. El objetivo de este trabajo consistió en realizar una propuesta de términos en español correspondientes a los términos incluídos en Paraplacenta [E6.0.2.4.0.1.], Placenta [E5.11.3.1.1.0.5] y Anomaliae placentae [E6.0.2.5.1.0.1], a partir de Terminologia Embryologica (TE) publicada por el Federal International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies en 2013, y en la cual sólo se encuentra la traducción al idioma inglés. La importancia de todos los trabajos relacionados con el buen uso de las terminologías y su correcta traducción al idioma vernáculo, radica en que la aplicación de un lenguaje único y común permitirá una mejor y mayor difusión de las investigaciones en el área de las ciencias morfológicas. PALABRAS CLAVE: Terminologia Embryologica; Placenta.

  • Study of the Murine Allantois by Allantoic Explants
    Developmental Biology 233, 347–364 (2001) doi:10.1006/dbio.2001.0227, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on Study of the Murine Allantois by Allantoic Explants Karen M. Downs,1 Roselynn Temkin, Shannon Gifford, and Jacalyn McHugh Department of Anatomy, University of Wisconsin–Madison Medical School, 1300 University Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin 53706 The murine allantois will become the umbilical artery and vein of the chorioallantoic placenta. In previous studies, growth and differentiation of the allantois had been elucidated in whole embryos. In this study, the extent to which explanted allantoises grow and differentiate outside of the conceptus was investigated. The explant model was then used to elucidate cell and growth factor requirements in allantoic development. Early headfold-stage murine allantoises were explanted directly onto tissue culture plastic or suspended in test tubes. Explanted allantoises vascularized with distal-to-proximal polarity, they exhibited many of the same signaling factors used by the vitelline and cardiovascular systems, and they contained at least three cell types whose identity, gene expression profiles, topographical associations, and behavior resembled those of intact allantoises. DiI labeling further revealed that isolated allantoises grew and vascularized in the absence of significant cell mingling, thereby supporting a model of mesodermal differentiation in the allantois that is position- and possibly age-dependent. Manipulation of allantoic explants by varying growth media demonstrated that the allantoic endothelial cell lineage, like that of other embryonic vasculatures, is responsive to VEGF164. Although VEGF164 was required for both survival and proliferation of allantoic angioblasts, it was not sufficient to induce appropriate epithelial- ization of these cells.

  • Genes and Pathways Associated with Pregnancy Loss in Dairy Cattle Anil Sigdel1, Rafael S
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genes and pathways associated with pregnancy loss in dairy cattle Anil Sigdel1, Rafael S. Bisinotto2 & Francisco Peñagaricano1* Pregnancy loss directly impairs reproductive performance in dairy cattle. Here, we investigated genetic factors associated with pregnancy loss following detection of a viable embryo around 42 days of gestation. The objectives of this study were to perform whole-genome scans and subsequent gene-set analyses for identifying candidate genes, functional gene-sets and gene signaling pathways implicated in pregnancy loss in US Holstein cows. Data consisted of about 58,000 pregnancy/ abortion records distributed over nulliparous, primiparous, and multiparous cows. Threshold models were used to assess the binary response of pregnancy loss. Whole‐genome scans identifed at least seven genomic regions on BTA2, BTA10, BTA14, BTA16, BTA21, BTA24 and BTA29 associated with pregnancy loss in heifers and lactating cows. These regions harbor several candidate genes that are directly implicated in pregnancy maintenance and fetal growth, such as CHST14, IGF1R, IGF2, PSEN2, SLC2A5 and WNT4. Moreover, the enrichment analysis revealed at least seven signifcantly enriched processes, containing genes associated with pregnancy loss, including calcium signaling, cell–cell attachment, cellular proliferation, fetal development, immunity, membrane permeability, and steroid metabolism. Additionally, the pathway analysis revealed a number of signifcant gene signaling pathways that regulate placental development and fetal growth, including Wnt, Hedgehog, Notch, MAPK, Hippo, mTOR and TGFβ pathways. Overall, our fndings contribute to a better understanding of the genetic and biological basis of pregnancy loss in dairy cattle and points out novel strategies for improving pregnancy maintenance via marker‐assisted breeding.

  • Amniotic Egg Coloring
    Name:__________________________________________ Date: _____________________ Pd: ________ AMNIOTIC EGG COLORING Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg? Animals have been laying eggs for millions of years; snails, fish, and many other critters produce eggs from which their young hatch. The egg of the reptile is a special kind of egg. It has a shell to help prevent drying, and a series of membranes that surround the developing chick. This kind of egg is unique to the amniotes, a group that includes turtles, lizards, birds, dinosaurs, and mammals. The last name in that list, the mammals, may have surprised you since most mammals do not lay eggs, but the earliest mammals laid eggs, and a few, such as the duck-billed platypus still do. To understand this, you must first understand the egg itself. Inside the egg are a series of fluid-filled membranes which allow the embryo (baby) to survive: the amnion, allantois, yolk sac, and chorion. Surrounding and protecting the embryo is the amnion, filled with amniotic fluid, and providing the embryo with a watery environment. Recall that amphibians had to return to water to lay eggs, reptiles were the first group to live completely on the land. The amniotic egg allowed them to place their eggs on dry land, The water (amniotic fluid) was IN the egg. Color the amnion dark blue and the fluid inside surrounding the embryo light blue. Color the embryo red. The allantois and yolk are attached to the reptile embryo. The allantois performs two very important functions for the embryo, providing for gas diffusion (allowing O2 in, and CO2 out for respiration), and removal of wastes.
