Summary Introduction

To review:

The description of baroreceptor reflex changes that occur to maintain the blood pressure when a person rises from a lying down to a standing position.

Introduction:

The baroreceptors are also known as mechanoreceptors. As the name suggests, these receptors help in sensing the blood pressure changes in the heart due to any physical stimulation to the body. The baroreceptors facilitate the baroreflex mechanism to execute a fast response to any change in the blood pressure.

"One of the symmetry breaking events in mouse gastrulation requires the amplification of Nodal on the side of the embryo opposite to the Anterior Visceral Endoderm (AVE). Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE.  1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site  4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal  Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?
