Summary Introduction

To review:

Match the term external iliac arteries with the most closely related descriptions given below:

deliver blood to the head

transport blood to the body’s skeletal muscles and internal organs

arteries whose smooth muscles do not contract

stationary blood clot

network of capillaries

arteries that supply a capillary network

supply blood to the upper limbs

small air sacs

supply blood to the lower limbs

collect blood from the kidneys

Introduction:

Arteries can be defined as the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood, the only exception being the pulmonary artery. The last segment of the abdominal aorta divides at vertebra L4 and leads to the formation of right and left iliac arteries and a sacral artery. The external iliac arteries are elastic arteries. The elastic arteries are large blood vessels, which transport blood from the heart. These arteries are a part of iliac arteries that are present in the ilium area of the pelvis.

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.
