Summary Introduction

To discuss:

The general characteristics of muscle tissue.

Introduction:

The tissues of muscle are comprised of elongated muscle fibers. According to the function and location, muscle tissues are categorized as skeletal muscle tissue, smooth muscle tissue, and cardiac muscle tissue.

Skeletal muscle tissue is voluntary muscle tissue which can be controlled. The cells of this tissue are striated. It forms the muscle which is attached to bones such as, trunk, limbs, and head.

Smooth muscle tissue is a type of involuntary muscle tissue which cannot be controlled. The cells of this tissue are nonstriated. The walls of hollow internal organs such as intestines, urinary bladder, urethra, and stomach are comprised of smooth muscle tissue.

Cardiac muscle tissue is a type of involuntary muscle tissue which cannot be controlled The cells of this tissue are branched and striated. Cardiac muscles are found only in the heart.

If you transplant trunk neural crest into the cranial neural crest region of a developing embryo, will you see the donor tissue form cartilage? Does the neural crest only give rise to two cells in the developing embryo, and is essential for lamprey to develop their jaw structure? Does a multipotent neural crest cell that is receiving Wnt signals become a Chromaffin cell?
Using quail and chick embryos, quail-specific antibody and fluorescent tissue-specific antibodies, design an experiment where you investigate the tissues the cranial neural crest can give rise to.  What are four derivatives of the cranial neural crest that you expect to see in the resulting chimeric embryos?
Does the neural crest have to undergo epithelial to mesenchymal transition prior to migration through the developing embryo?  Does the neural crest differentiate into different cell types based on their axial position along the anterior and posterior axis?
