Torsion- twisting of the embryo along the left-right axis (similar to the twist of the body when a golfer swings at the ball). MOST prominent in the 48-hour chick embryo Flexion- bending of the embryo along the anterior-posterior axis. In amniotes the tip of the head bends towards the heart. Types of flexion: cranial flexion‚ cervical flexion‚ pontine flexure‚ dorsal flexure‚ caudal flexure. ^Cervical flexure- ventral bend in embryo at transition between myelencephalon and spinal cord ^Dosal Flexure-

2. Compare the development of lymphocytes with other formed elements. B lymphocytes develop in red bone marrow‚ T lymphocytes develop in red bone marrow and mature in the thymus; the other formed elements develop in red bone marrow 3. What is erythropoiesis? Which factors speed up and slow down erythropoiesis? Erythropoiesis is the process by which red blood cells (erythrocytes) are produced. If you lose a lot of blood‚ erythropoiesis will speed up; anemia can cause erythropoiesis to slow down

Cell Wall- The cell wall is a rigid structure outside the cell membrane that supports and protects the cell. The cell wall is made of tough cellulose fibers and other materials made by the cell. Analogy- In a restaurant the building itself supports the restaurant. It is often made of wood or concrete. Cell Membrane- The cell membrane is a structure that forms the outer boundary of the cell and allows only certain materials to move into and out of the cell. Food‚ oxygen and water move into

Joints and Movements The Joints Definition: A joint (articulation) is point of contact between bones or between bone and cartilage. Joint Classifications Joints are classified by: The degree of movement they allow The structure of the joint The three types of joints that we will look at are: 1. Fibrous joints 2. Cartilaginous joints 3. Synovial joints Fibrous Joints These joints are also called "fixed" or "immoveable" joints‚ because they do not move. These joints have no joint cavity
