Regeneration involves the reactivation of development to restore missing tissues through various mechanisms. Epimorphic regeneration occurs when differentiated cells dedifferentiate to form an undifferentiated blastema which then proliferates and redifferentiates into the new structure. Salamanders regenerate limbs through epimorphosis by forming a blastema beneath the wound epidermis/apical ectodermal cap. Blastema cells require both nerves and growth factors from the apical ectodermal cap to proliferate. Patterning molecules like retinoic acid and Hox genes help reestablish proximal-distal patterning in the regenerating limb.
1) Axes formation follows gastrulation and is controlled by specific genes that determine the structure of the body. Three main axes form - dorsal-ventral, anterior-posterior, and left-right.
2) Neurulation is the process of neural tube formation from the neural plate. Primary neurulation involves fusion of neural folds while secondary neurulation forms a hollow neural cord. The neural tube develops into the brain and spinal cord.
3) Anterior-posterior patterning in zebrafish involves an initiation phase setting up head and trunk territories, and an elaboration phase forming the trunk and tail. A balance of FGF, Wnts, and retinoic acid regulates this process.
Gastrulation in sea urchins involves two main processes: 1) the ingression of primary mesenchyme cells from the vegetal plate into the blastocoel, and 2) the invagination of the archenteron or primitive gut. The archenteron invaginates in three stages - first it invaginates about half way into the blastocoel, then it extends dramatically as cells intercalate and migrate, and finally filopodia from secondary mesenchyme cells attach to the blastocoel wall and pull the archenteron up to form the mouth. Overall, gastrulation transforms the embryo from a single-layered blastula into a multi-layered gastrula with

Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of stable internal conditions in the body, such as temperature and blood glucose levels. It involves dynamic mechanisms that detect changes in physiological variables and initiate responses to restore optimal levels. Negative feedback systems oppose stimuli to maintain equilibrium, while positive feedback intensifies stimuli over a limited time to complete a process, like childbirth. The nervous, endocrine, respiratory, and circulatory systems all contribute to homeostasis through receptors, signals, and coordinated regulatory responses.

This document discusses regeneration in living organisms. It defines regeneration as the ability to replace or renew damaged or lost body parts after embryonic development. Regeneration involves growth, morphogenesis, and cell differentiation regulated by signaling pathways like WNT and FGF. There are three main types of regeneration: physiological regeneration which replaces regularly lost cells; reparative regeneration which repairs wounds or lost parts; and autotomy where animals self-detach parts when threatened. Regeneration abilities vary across vertebrates, from restricted tissue regeneration in mammals to full limb regeneration in salamanders and fish fin regeneration. The process of limb regeneration occurs in three phases: wound healing, blastema formation from progenitor cells, and redifferentiation of the blastema into
1. There are four main types of regeneration: stem cell mediated, epimorphosis, morphallaxis, and compensatory regeneration.
2. Epimorphosis involves de-differentiation of cells forming a blastema which then re-differentiates, as seen in salamander limb regeneration.
3. Morphallaxis involves re-patterning of existing tissues with little new growth, as seen when hydra fragments regenerate entire organisms.
This document discusses regeneration in various organisms including salamanders, hydra, and planaria. It describes two main types of regeneration - epimorphosis and morphallaxis. Epimorphosis involves cellular proliferation, dedifferentiation, and blastema formation while morphallaxis involves tissue remodeling without proliferation. Salamanders undergo epimorphic regeneration of limbs through formation of a regeneration blastema. Hydra regenerate through morphallaxis and some epimorphosis, regulated by Wnt signaling and head/foot activation gradients that determine where new structures form.
This document summarizes limb development in vertebrates using the chicken wing and mouse forelimb as models. It describes how the limb develops axes and patterns of differentiated tissues over time. The early limb bud consists of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells covered by ectoderm. As the bud elongates, the thickened apical ectodermal ridge and differences in expansion across the limb axes influence patterning and contribute to formation of proximal versus distal structures. While chicken wings and mouse forelimbs follow similar developmental processes, there are some differences in morphology and growth.
This document discusses regeneration in different animal groups. It explains that regeneration involves reactivating development to restore missing tissue. Regeneration occurs through stem cell mediated regeneration, epimorphosis, morphallaxis, and compensatory regeneration. Epimorphosis involves dedifferentiation and redifferentiation, as seen in salamander limb regeneration. Compensatory regeneration uses differentiated cells and is seen in liver and zebrafish heart regeneration. Regeneration also relies on signaling gradients that establish polarity and pattern formation.
The document discusses neurulation, the process of formation and closure of the neural tube. It involves primary and secondary neurulation, which are guided by molecular signaling pathways involving molecules like Shh, BMP4/7, and cadherins. Defects in neurulation can result in neural tube defects like anencephaly or spina bifida. While neurulation was once thought to be a simple one-step process, it is now understood to be more complex, with closure occurring in regions rather than entirely linearly.

Regeneration is the process by which organisms can regrow tissues or entire body parts, and occurs through the activity of stem cells. There are several types of regeneration including morphallaxis, epimorphosis, autonomy, and heteromorphosis. Regeneration ability varies greatly across different species of invertebrates and vertebrates, from simple organisms like hydra and planaria being able to regenerate entire bodies, to mammals only being able to regenerate certain tissues.

The document discusses different types of eggs based on various classification schemes. Eggs can be classified based on the amount of yolk present as alecithal (no yolk), microlecithal (small amount of yolk), mesolecithal (moderate yolk), or macrolecithal/megalecithal (large amount of yolk). They can also be classified based on yolk distribution as isolecithal (uniform), telolecithal (concentrated at one pole), or centrolecithal (yolk at the center). Additionally, eggs are classified as mosaic (development predetermined) or regulative (development not predetermined), and as cleidoic (hard shell) or
1) Gastrulation in frog embryos involves the inward migration of cells through the blastopore, converting the blastula into a gastrula with three germ layers.
2) Specifically, endodermal and mesodermal cells involute inward, with mesoderm occupying the region between endoderm and ectoderm. The blastopore gradually closes.
3) This process transforms the spherical blastula into a bilaterally symmetrical gastrula, which then undergoes neurulation to form the neural tube and become a neurula.
Role of fat body in insect metabolism.pptKHARIKARAN
Ìý
The fat body plays a major role in insect metabolism. It is a loose tissue distributed throughout the insect body that is responsible for energy storage and release. The fat body stores energy as glycogen and triglycerides and is involved in immunity, detoxification, and yolk protein production. It is composed of different cell types, including trophocytes that store and secrete organic substances, oenocytes near the cuticle, mycetocytes that contain symbiotic microorganisms, chromatocytes that accumulate fats, and urocytes that store urate granules. The fat body undergoes changes during metamorphosis and is important for overwintering insects to manage their lipid energy stores.
1. In vertebrates, primordial germ cells (PGCs) arise early in development and migrate into developing gonads to form germ cells.
2. The mechanism of PGC migration varies between species, with frogs and zebrafish migrating chemotactically in response to signaling proteins, while birds and reptiles migrate through the bloodstream.
3. In mammals, PGCs form in the posterior epiblast and migrate directly into the endoderm and then genital ridges over successive days of development.
1. Innate behaviors are hardwired and occur without learning. They are performed through fixed action patterns (FAPs) triggered by sign stimuli.
2. FAPs are species-specific sequences of behaviors that are released and completed once started. Examples include nest building, courtship dances, and aggression displays.
3. Sign stimuli are simple cues that trigger FAPs. Exaggerated sign stimuli called supernormal stimuli can elicit exaggerated responses. Brood parasites use supernormal eggs/chicks to elicit more care from hosts.
Morphogens are signals that form concentration gradients to specify multiple cell types during development. Cells respond to different morphogen thresholds to activate distinct gene expression. Bicoid is a transcription factor that acts as a morphogen gradient in Drosophila, turning on different genes in different embryo regions based on its concentration. It forms a gradient from anterior to posterior, with high concentrations specifying head structures and lower concentrations specifying more posterior structures. This gradient establishes the basic body plan of the fruit fly embryo.
Vertebrates generally have a ventral aorta and dorsal aorta, with six pairs of aortic arches that branch off and pass through gill arches. In fishes, the six pairs of arches each pass blood through the gills. Over time, some arches reduce or disappear, with sharks having five pairs and most fish having four functional pairs. In land vertebrates like reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals, the number of arches reduces further to three pairs or less as lungs replace gills and the circulatory system evolves to separate oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
This document discusses crustacean parasites and provides examples. It begins with definitions of crustacea and parasites. Crustaceans have segmented bodies, a hard exoskeleton, and appendages. Parasites live in or on a host and obtain nutrients from the host. The document then covers characteristics of crustaceans, their classification, examples of parasitic crustaceans including copepods, branchiura, and cirripedia. It describes how parasites adapt to the host and affect the host, often preventing reproduction or causing disease.
Evolutionary change in heart of vertebrates
Heart is situated ventral to the oseophagus in the pericardial section of the coelom.
Heart is a highly muscular pumping organ that pumps blood into arteries and sucks it back through the veins.
In vertebrates it has undergone transformation by twisting from a straight tube to a complex multi-chambered organ.
. There has been an increase in the number of chambers in heart during evolution of vertebrates.
The heart is covered by a transparent protective covering, called pericardium. It is a single layer in fish.
Within pericardium there is a pericardial fluid, protects the heart from the external injury.
TheÌýevolution of the heart is based on the separation of oxygenated bloodÌýfrom deoxygenated blood for efficient oxygen transport.
Variation-Genetic variation is the difference in DNA sequences between individuals within a population. Variation occurs in germ cells i.e. sperm and egg, and also in somatic (all other) cells. Only variation that arises in germ cells can be inherited from one individual to another and so affect population dynamics, and ultimately evolution.
This presentation discusses cryopreservation of gametes. Cryopreservation is a process that uses very low temperatures, typically with liquid nitrogen at -196°C, to preserve living cells and tissues. Cryoprotective agents are used to protect cells from freezing damage. Techniques discussed include slow freezing, rapid freezing and vitrification. Applications include sperm banking, embryo freezing and ovarian tissue cryopreservation. Both benefits and limitations of cryopreservation are mentioned such as the ability to preserve biological materials long-term but also the risk of cell damage from ice formation or toxic effects of cryoprotectants.
Homeotic genes, such as Hox genes, direct embryonic development by regulating the formation of body structures. In fruit flies, mutations in homeotic genes can result in abnormal growth like legs on the head. Researchers like Lewis, Wieschaus, and Nüsslein-Volhard discovered the role of homeotic genes in fly development and were awarded the Nobel Prize. Homeotic genes are conserved across species and in humans are organized into four clusters that guide development along the head-to-tail axis.
The document discusses the neural control of animal behavior through several examples. It begins by describing the basic structural and functional unit of the neural system, the neuron, and how properties like axon diameter affect signal transmission speed and behavioral response times. Several case studies are then presented that demonstrate how complex behaviors can be elicited by simple stimuli through neural processing, including begging behavior in gull chicks and moth responses to bats. Neural control of escape behaviors is shown in sea slugs. The role of the mushroom bodies neural cluster in spatial learning and honeybee foraging is also described.

This document discusses the theory of co-evolution and the role of allelochemicals in host plant mediation. It defines co-evolution as reciprocal evolutionary change between interacting species. Examples of co-evolution discussed include predator-prey relationships, interactions between herbivores and plants, acacia ants and acacia trees, and flowering plants and pollinators. It also describes how plants have evolved physical and chemical defenses against herbivores, including thorns, spines, and compounds like phenolics and terpenoids. Finally, it explains that allelochemicals produced by plants can influence other organisms and protect the host plant by altering plant growth regulators and inhibiting pathogens.

Regeneration is the process by which organisms regrow or replace lost tissues or organs. It occurs to varying degrees across the animal kingdom. Among invertebrates, regeneration is most developed in sponges, jellyfish, flatworms, and tunicates. Among vertebrates, regeneration is limited mainly to limbs, jaws, gills, and tails in some species, while in most vertebrates it is restricted to healing of damaged tissues. Regeneration occurs through various mechanisms including stem cell replacement, reparative regeneration of lost parts, and super regeneration of extra organs or parts in some species like planaria.
There are four main types of tissues in plants and animals:
1. Meristematic tissue, found at growing tips of stems and roots, is composed of actively dividing cells responsible for growth.
2. Permanent tissues have differentiated cells that perform specific functions and do not divide. These include simple tissues like parenchyma and complex tissues like xylem and phloem.
3. The four main animal tissues are epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue lines surfaces, connective tissue connects and supports, muscular tissue enables movement, and nervous tissue conducts electrical signals.
There are four main types of tissues in both plants and animals: meristematic tissue, permanent tissue, epithelial tissue, and connective tissue.
Meristematic tissue consists of actively dividing cells and is found at growth points in plants such as the root tip and shoot tip. Permanent tissues, including complex tissues like xylem and phloem, are composed of differentiated cells that have lost the ability to divide. Epithelial tissues cover the internal and external surfaces of both plants and animals, while connective tissues provide structure and binding functions.
The cell is the basic unit of life and all physiological systems depend on cellular activity. Cells acquire differentiation through development to equip them for specific functions. It was once thought that differentiated cells could not be reprogrammed, but advances in cell biology have challenged this idea. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can renew themselves and differentiate into other cell types. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent while adult stem cells found in tissues are multipotent or unipotent. Stem cells show potential for applications like disease modeling, drug development, and regenerative medicine.

The document discusses four main types of animal tissues: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. It provides details on the structure and function of each type of tissue. Cell specialization or modification occurs after cell division, structurally modifying newly formed cells so they can perform functions efficiently. The summary discusses types of cell modification including those on the apical, basal, and lateral surfaces of cells.
Stem cells were first identified in the 19th century and were originally studied in plants. The term "stem cell" refers to cells that can renew themselves and differentiate. There are several types of stem cells including embryonic, fetal, and adult stem cells which are found in tissues like bone marrow. Embryonic stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of blastocysts are pluripotent and can differentiate into any cell type, though they also pose ethical issues. Stem cells hold promise for regenerative medicine through differentiation and replacement of damaged cells.
Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can differentiate into specialized cell types. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, which are derived from embryos and are pluripotent, and adult stem cells, which are multipotent and found in adult tissues. Stem cell research holds promise for developing new treatments for diseases by enabling cell regeneration and replacement. However, there are still challenges to overcome regarding isolating and delivering stem cells safely and effectively for clinical applications.

It can regrow amputated fins through blastema formation and proliferation. During heart regeneration, cardiomyocytes dedifferentiate and proliferate to replace damaged tissue. In the retina, brain and spinal cord, radial glial cells act as progenitors to regenerate neurons. New genetic techniques allow manipulation of specific genes to better understand regeneration in the zebrafish.

Tissue regeneration is an emerging and exciting biomedical field. As a scientist, choose either an
adult stem cell population or embryonic stem cells as a model system to develop a technique for
growing artificial limbs in culture. Be sure to explain why you chose your particular stem cell
and the drawbacks associated with the one that you did not choose for your experiments.
Solution
In tissue regeneration scientists choose only embryonic stem cells as a models system to develop
a technique for growing artificial limbs in culture. In case of salamanders have unusual and very
desirable characteristics of being able replicate limb. When salamanders loses a limb does not
form scab. Instead a wound epidermis forms it known as apical epithelial cells they form
blastema. This knob of stem cells is then able completely regenerate the limb, these blastemata
like MRL mice act as embryonic stem cells.
Embryonic stem cells:
1. It is pluripotent i.e., differentiate into 3 of the primary germ layers (ectoderm, endoderm,
mesoderm) this indicates that embryonic stem cells can potentially differentiate into adult human
cell if stimulated right way
Drawbacks of adult stem cells:
1.It is multipotent meaning that each can only produced limited cell type.
2. Unlike embryonic stem cells, they are much scarcer and harder to culture
so its not choosen by scientist to develop for growing artificial limbs in culture..
Cell modifications allow cells to specialize and perform specific functions. Some examples of cell modifications include microvilli and stereocilia, which increase cell surface area for functions like absorption. Cilia and flagella help with cell movement. Root hairs also increase surface area for absorption. Intercellular junctions like plasmodesmata, tight junctions, and gap junctions allow communication between plant and animal cells. Other specialized cells include nerve cells with dendrites and axons, muscle cells with actin and myosin, red blood cells for oxygen transport, sperm cells for fertilization, and plant cells with cell walls, chloroplasts, and central vacuoles. These modifications enhance cells' abilities to carry out vital tissue and organism
2 REGENERATIVE ABILITIES IN VARIOUS ANIMALS.pptxishmish2

Regenerative Abilities in Various Animals: A Detailed Overview
Regeneration is one of the most fascinating biological processes observed in the animal kingdom. While humans can heal wounds, many animals possess the extraordinary ability to regenerate entire body parts, a skill that has evolved through complex biological pathways. These regenerative processes can range from regenerating simple tissues to fully restoring limbs, tails, and even internal organs. This ability is not uniformly distributed among all animals but varies dramatically between species, often as a function of their habitat, evolutionary needs, and physiological structures.
In this extensive exploration, we will delve into the regenerative abilities of a diverse range of animals, spanning across different taxa. We'll discuss how these processes work at a cellular level, the evolutionary advantages of regeneration, and the ongoing scientific studies aimed at understanding and perhaps one day harnessing these abilities in humans.
### I. Regenerative Capabilities in Invertebrates
#### 1. **Planarians (Flatworms)**
Planarians are some of the most well-known organisms for their remarkable regenerative abilities. These flatworms can regenerate entire bodies from a fragment as small as 1/279th of the original organism. This regenerative feat is primarily due to a unique type of stem cell called neoblasts, which are distributed throughout their bodies. When a planarian is injured, the neoblasts migrate to the site of the injury and proliferate, replacing the lost or damaged cells.
Planarians also exhibit polarity in regeneration, meaning the anterior (head) and posterior (tail) ends regenerate differently based on the position of the injury. This polarity is guided by biochemical gradients, specifically involving Wnt signaling pathways, which determine whether the new tissue will form a head or a tail.
The study of planarian regeneration has provided valuable insights into stem cell biology and tissue regeneration in higher organisms. The discovery of key regulatory genes such as **Smed-betacatenin-1**, which controls the decision of whether to regenerate a head or tail, has been significant for developmental biology.
#### 2. **Hydra**
Hydras are simple freshwater organisms within the phylum Cnidaria. They possess exceptional regenerative abilities, to the extent that some scientists consider them potentially "immortal." When a hydra is cut into pieces, each fragment has the capability to regenerate into a fully functional organism. This regeneration is driven by interstitial stem cells located throughout their bodies, which are capable of differentiating into any cell type.
The amazing regenerative properties of hydras are closely linked to the continuous activity of their **FoxO** gene, which is believed to regulate longevity and regeneration. Studies on hydras offer insights into cellular senescence and the maintenance of tissue homeostasis, both of which are crucial form

5. 1. Stem cell mediated
Regeneration
• Stem cells allow an organism to regrow certain
organs or tissues that have been lost.
• Example :
• Regrowth of hair shafts from follicular stem cells in
the hair bulge .
7. 2. Epimorphosis
• In some species, adult structures can undergo
dedifferentiation to form a relatively
undifferentiated mass of cells that then
differentiates to form the new structure.
9. 3. Morphallaxis
Morphallaxis is the regeneration of specific tissue in a
variety of organisms due to loss or death of the
existing tissue. The word comes from the Greek
allazein, which means to change.
11. 4. Compensatory
regeneration.
Here, the differentiated cells divide but maintain their
differentiated functions. The new cells do not come
from stem cells, nor do they come from the
dedifferentiation of the adult cells. Each cell produces
cells similar to itself; no mass of undifferentiated
tissue.
14. Epimorphic
Regeneration of
Salamander limb
The new cells construct only the
missing structures and no more
In some way salamander limbs
know where the proximal distal
axis has been severed and is able
to regenerate from that point on
15. 1: Regeneration
of blastema
Salamanders accomplish
epimorphic regeneration by cell
dedifferentiation to form a
regeneration blastema. It is an
aggregation of relatively
dedifferentiated cells derived
from the originally differentiated
tissue. This blastema then
proliferates and differentiates
into the new limb parts. Bone,
dermis, and cartilage just
beneath the site of amputation
contribute to the regeneration
blastema, as do satellite cells
from nearby muscles.
16. 2: Formation of
apical
ectodermal cap
(ACE)
When a salamander limb is
amputated,a plasma clot
formswithin 6-12 hours
epidermal cells form the
remaining stump migrate to
cover the wound surface
,forming the wound epidermis.
