Summary Introduction

To describe:

The hydrostatic skeleton, exoskeleton, and endoskeleton, and also explain the action of antagonistic muscles on these types of the skeleton to cause movement of an animal’s body

Introduction:

Skeleton is defined as the system that helps to provides support to the body of organisms. It is composed of bones and cartilage in vertebrates. Skeleton is of three types such as hydrostatic skeleton, exoskeleton, and endoskeleton.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The function of the vertebrate skeleton

Introduction:

The skeletal system in the human body consists of 206 bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. It is also involved in calcium storage, production of blood cell and regulation of endocrine. It helps to provide support, movement, and protection to the body.

Summary Introduction

To enlist:

The function of different connective tissues that make up a vertebrate skeleton

Introduction:

Connective tissue is a type of fibrous tissue which contains insoluble matrix, in which collagen is assembled. It protects and supports the organs and the body. It also stores energy, binds the organs together, and helps in maintaining immunity.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The bone remodeling and how a bone fracture is repaired.

Introduction:

Bone is defined as the rigid organ which provides the framework to the vertebrate skeleton. It helps to provide support and protection to several organs of the body. It also helps in the production of red and white blood cells, and storage of minerals.

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.
