Summary Introduction

To review:

The location of the basic body regions that are drained by azygos vein.

Introduction:

The cells and tissues of the body require a constant supply of oxygen for their efficient and proper functioning. Lungs exchange carbon dioxide generated by the cells with the oxygen from the external environment during the process of breathing. Blood gets oxygenated within the lungs and then transported to the heart, from where it is supplied to various body parts by the means of a large network of vessels.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
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.
