Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason behind low velocity of blood flow in capillaries.

Concept introduction:

The smallest arterioles break-up into a number of minute vessels called capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels of the body, which connect the arterioles and venules. Walls of capillaries are composed of a thick layer of cell called as simple squamous epithelium or endothelium.

The absence of smooth muscles and connective tissue layers permits more rapid exchange of materials between the blood and the tissues. In human body, about 7 billion of capillaries are present enormously. Capillaries exhibits homologous structure to erythrocyte in diameter 7 µm.

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.
