Chapter 15.2, Problem 10AYLO
Summary Introduction

To discuss:

The path of the vagus nerve and the names and locations of the plexus and trunks to which it gives rise.

Introduction:

Vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve of the autonomic nervous system. It is a parasympathetic nerve fiber that arises from the medulla pons. Being the longest nerve fiber of the nervous system, it accounts for nearly 90% of preganglionic fibers with it, and it tends to innervate all the vital organs like hear, kidney, digestive system, lungs, gall bladder, liver, and the gonads. It innervates the target organs by plexus formation around the major blood vessels like aorta and carotid artery. Its detailed plexus system and network can be discussed herein.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
