Chapter 7.3, Problem 13CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The sternal angle and its clinical importance.
Introduction:
The thoracic cage, also known as the bony thorax, protects and supports vital organs like the lungs and the heart. The thoracic cage has different elements, which include thoracic vertebrae (posteriorly), ribs (laterally), and sternum, as well ascostal cartilages (anteriorly). The sternum is a flat bone formed by the fusion of three bones. It includes manubrium, body, and xiphoid process. It is located in the anterior midline of the thorax. The sternum has essential landmarks or sections, namely, the jugular notch, the sternal angle, and the xiphisternal joint.

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?

- Using quail and chicken embryos, what kind of experiment would you conduct to test if rib forming somites have their axial identity specified before segmentation? How do we know this phenotype is due to axial identity being specified before segmentation and not due to our experimental method?arrow_forward8. Aerobic respiration of a 5 mM solution of tripeptide that is composed of the following three amino acids; alanine, leucine and isoleucine. Alanine breaks down to pyruvate, leucine breaks down to Acetyl-CoA and isoleucine breaks down to succinyl-CoA.

The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. fatty acids glycerol 18 carbons 12 carbons 0=arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardYou 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?arrow_forwardYou 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.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardDesign a grafting experiment to determine if limb mesoderm determines forelimb / hindlimb identity. Include the experiment, a control, and an interpretation in your answer.arrow_forwardThe Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange.
