What would you put as the answer?
research into a new drug reveals that on of its side effects is to destroy the ectodermal germ layer of the devleoping embryos. If this drug were administered to a pregnant woman, which would be absent in the fetus?
a. adrenal medulla
b.femur
c. stomach
d. heart
e. iliac vien

and why???
 
i am not 100% sure on this so dont quote me on it, but from what i remember, the skull and backbone are formed from ectoderm for sure...0_0...might want to look it up

A.
Adrenal medulla is derived from embryonic neural crest and nural crest is a transient component of ectoderm. Basically AM is nothing but a ganlion of the sympathic nervous system.

this is why adrenaline and nor-adrenaline are so similar.

Check out my notes on development, it goes over this.
 
A. adrenal medulla

ectoderm --> neural crest --> nerves, skin, bone of brain, adrenal medulla and components of the PNS
Yes the chromaffin cells of the AM are ectoderm derived, but also know that the PNS is derived from 3 sources: neural crest cells, neural tube, and Mesoderm which give rise to the dura and to some connective tissue of peripheral fibers. This could pose as a trick question on PNS?
 
FYI...another trick question could come from the Notochord during development which is a cylinder of mesoderm which induces the formation of each vertebral body and forms the nuclues pulposus of each disk!! I quess these NS components would be Meso derived.

What a meanass question! Where did you get this from?

I would've became confused with mesoderm's adrenal cortex but out of process elim, its A
