Lab 1 Assessment

1. Identify the origin of In Vitro Fertilization and the 2010 nobel prize winner associated with this technique.

-The origin of IVF was in the UK in 1978 -The 2010 Nobel Prize winner was Robert G. Edwards for the development of this technique

2. Identify a recent paper on fertilisation and describe its key findings.

Recent Paper: "Trends in delivery and neonatal outcome after in vitro fertilization in Sweden: data for 25 years". B Klln, O Finnstrm, A Lindam, E Nilsson, K-G Nygren, P Otterblad Olausson. Hum. Reprod.: 2010, 25(4);1026-34 PMID:20139431

Key Findings: -The decrease in unwanted outcomes can be explained by a. the reduced rate of multiple births b. changes in the characteristics of patients undergoing IVF

3. Identify 2 congenital abnormalities.

-Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome) -Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome)


Lab 2 Assessment

1. Identify the ZP protein that spermatozoa binds and how is this changed (altered) after fertilisation.

ZP3 is a zona pellucida protein that spermatozoa binds to. Enzymes digest the zona pellucida after fertilisation which alters ZP3 so it will no longer bind sperm plasma membrane.

2. Identify a review and a research article related to your group topic. (Paste on both group discussion page with signature and on your own page)

Group topic: cystic fibrosis

Review article: H.A. Tiddens, Detecting early structural lung damage in cystic fibrosis, Pediatr Pulmonol 34 (3) (2002), pp. 228–231.

Research article: Wang SS, FitzSimmons SC, O'Leary LA, Rock MJ, Gwinn ML, Khoury MJ, Early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis in the newborn period and risk of Pseudomonas aeruginosa acquisition in the first 10 years of life: A registry-based longitudinal study, Pediatrics, 2001 Feb, 107(2):274-9.

Lab 3 Assessment

1. What is the maternal dietary requirement for late neural development?

Folate

--Mark Hill 23:35, 20 August 2011 (EST) Not the answer I was looking for, I discussed this for early neural development.

2. Upload a picture relating to you group project. Add to both the Group discussion and your online assessment page. Image must be renamed appropriately, citation on "Summary" window with link to original paper and copyright information. As outlined in the Practical class tutorial.

Unable to complete. Need assistance.

--:Z3308965 10:57, 18 August 2011 (EST)

--Mark Hill 23:30, 20 August 2011 (EST) OK, the first thing is to find an image that you can reuse (appropriate copyright conditions). Then download to your computer, now using "upload image" find the file and rename it before uploading (name the image appropriately before you upload). Now you should be able to insert the image on your page as I showed in class.


Lab 4 Assessment

1. The allantois, identified in the placental cord, is continuous with what anatomical structure?

The allantois is an extension from the early hindgut which connects to the superior end of the developing bladder.

2. Identify the 3 vascular shunts, and their location, in the embryonic circulation.

a. Vitelline: yolk sac; including vitelline vein and artery (branch off the dorsal aorta) b. Embryonic – body of the embryo; including anterior, common and posterior cardinal veins, ventral and dorsal aortas and aortic arch arteries. c. Placental – primordial placenta; including umbilical artery and left umbilical vein

3.Identify the Group project sub-section that you will be researching. (Add to project page and your individual assessment page) Group 11: Surgical timeline and Etimiology

--Fleur McGregor 12:17, 23 August 2011 (EST)


Lab 5 Assessment

1. Which side (L/R) is most common for diaphragmatic hernia and why?

Diaphragmatic hernia is most common on the left side. It occurs when the pleuroperitoneal foramen fails to close which allows the viscera to enter the thorax.

--Fleur McGregor 10:14, 1 September 2011 (EST)


Lab 6 Assessment

1. What week of development do the palatal shelves fuse?

Primary palate: between stage 17 and 18 Secondary palate: week 9

2. What early animal model helped elucidate the neural crest origin and migration of neural crest cells?

Chicken model

3. What abnormality results from neural crest not migrating into the cardiac outflow tract?

Tetralogy of Fallot

--Fleur McGregor 13:46, 11 September 2011 (EST)


Lab 7 Assessment

1. Are satellite cells (a) necessary for muscle hypertrophy and (b) generally involved in hypertrophy?

(a) No, it has been proven that satellite cells are not necessary for muscle hypertrophy.

(b) Satellite cells, however, are generally a normal part of the process of hypertrophy.

2. Why does chronic low frequency stimulation cause a fast to slow fibre type shift?

Chronic low frequency stimulation causes a fast to slow fibre type shift as it induces satellite cell activity in the muscle which produces adaption and change in the fibres.

3. Trisomy 21 Peer Review

  • Introduction does not seem to flow. Maybe restructure paragraphs?
  • Good links, could be placed somewhere else other than introduction?
  • Some heading were too specific eg. Heart defects
  • The order of headings should be revised so that it is in a logical order that builds on the previous heading
  • Some pictures did not have correct referencing eg. Associated congenital abnormalities. Is this picture relevant?
  • Understandable-language not too technical
  • No student drawn diagrams or figures
  • Adequate research-lots of references
  • Overall, good level of content
  • Good balance of text and pictures
