Primitive streak initiation and maintenance is due to Primitive streak initiation and maintenance is due to answer:nodal gene The primitive streak itself is initiated and maintained by expression of Nodal, a member of the transforming growth factor ß (TGF-ß) family. Once the streak is formed, a number of genes regulate formation of dorsal and ventral mesoderm and head and tail structures. -Another member of the TGF-ß family, bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP- 4) is secreted throughout the embryonic disc Reference 1. : Langman's Embryology -10 Ed. Pg.57 Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) have been implicated in diverse cellular processes including apoptosis, cell survival, chemotaxis, cell adhesion, migration, differentiation, and proliferation. This review presents our current understanding on the roles of FGF signaling, the pathways employed, and its regulation. We focus on FGF signaling during early embryonic processes in vertebrates, such as induction and patterning of the three germ layers as well as its function in the control of morphogenetic movements. Reference 2 . Endocr Rev. 2005 Feb;26(1):63-77. Fibroblast growth factor signaling during early vertebrate development. Böttcher RT, Niehrs C. PMID: 15689573 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] ************************************************************** The primitive streak itself is initiated and maintained by expression of Nodal, a member of the transforming growth factor ß (TGF-ß) family BMP4 in the presence of FGF ventralizes mesoderm during gastrulation. Brachyury (small tail) regulate structures in the caudal region.It is equired for mesoderm formation and cellular differentiation. Cell to cell signaling by paracrine method is carried by GDFs (growth & differentiation factors) 4 groups:1. FGF,2. WNT,3. HEDGEHOG and 4. TGFs. *********************************************** FGFs (fibroblast growth factors): fibroblast growth factors are associated with many developmental processes including mesoderm induction, antero-posterior patterning, neural induction, angiogenesis, axon extension and limb formation. -These signal proteins are involved in formation of sutures and bones of the skull. **************************************************** -TGF_beta include BMP and MIF (mullerian inhibiting factor). TGF_beta are important for extracellular matrix formation and epithelilial branching. BMP induces bone formation and is involved in regulating cell division, apotosis and cell migration. TGF-beta, T-box transcription factor and the Wnt signalling pathways are involved in endoderm specification. ******************************* -BMP(bone morphogenetic proteins) are members of transforming growth factors-beta family , wwhich serve as signal molecules for a number of morphogenetic events, including dorsalizing the CNS, participating in bone formation etc. -Hedgehog proteins like sonic HH is involved in neural tube induction & patterning, somite differentiation,limb patterning ************************************** WNT proteins-endoderm specification, mid-brain development, urogenital differentiation. Transforming growth factor -beta (nodal) induce formation of mesoderm. the concerted action of molecules like FGFs participate in germ cell layer fates in the primitive streak. TGF-beta, T-box transcription factor and the Wnt signalling pathways are involved in endoderm specification. ******************************
In post-ductal coarctation of the aorta, blood flow to the l In post-ductal coarctation of the aorta, blood flow to the lower limbs is maintained by increased blood flow through answer:Intercostal and Superior epigastric Coarctation (stenosis/narrowing) of aorta is due to defect in the tunica media, which forms a shelf like projection into the lumen, most commonly in the region of the ductus arteriosus. -A collateral circulation develops distal to the obstruction between subclavian artery (internal thoracic artery) & descending aorta (posterior intercostal arteries). -This anastomosis produces characteristic notching of the ribs on X-RAY * Superior epigastric is a branch of internal thoracic artery and gives the anterior intercostal arteries in the lower intercostal spaces. -Coarctation of the aorta is of three types: 1. Pre-ductal coarctation: The narrowing is proximal to the ductus arteriosus. If severe, blood flow to the aorta distal (to lower body) to the narrowing is dependent on a patent ductus arteriosus, and hence its closure can be life-threatening. 2. Ductal coarctation: The narrowing occurs at the insertion of the ductus arteriosus. This kind usually appears when the ductus arteriosus closes. 3. Post-ductal coarctation: The narrowing is distal to the insertion of the ductus arteriosus. Even with an open ductus arteriosus blood flow to the lower body can be impaired. Newborns with this type of coarctation may be critically sick from the birth.
Occlusion occurs at the 2nd part of Axillary artery, blood f Occlusion occurs at the 2nd part of Axillary artery, blood flow is maintained by anastomosis between answereep branch of the transverse cervical artery and Subscapular artery The scapular anastomosis is a system connecting each subclavian artery and the corresponding axillary artery, forming an anastomosis around the scapula. -It allows blood to flow past the shoulder joint regardless of the position of the arm. -It also provides a collateral circulation towards the limb in case of blockage at the subclavian or axillary artery. -The dorsal scapular (deep branch of transverse cervical artery) and suprascapular arteries arise from the first part of subclavian artery. -Subscapular artery arises from the third part of the axillary artery and gives a circumflex branch to scapula. -The scapular anastomosis is between the first part of subclavian and third part of axillary artery. -Dorsal scapular (Deep branch of transverse scapular) anastomoses mainly with subscapular artery. And suprascapular artery mainly anastomoses with Circumflex scapular artery. NOTE: There is an additional (minor) anastomosis present between acromial branch of suprascapular & acromial branch of posterior circumflex humeral artery. This anastomosis lies on acromion process
