A fate map of the wing disc ofZaprionus vittiger (diptera)
1Institute of Zoology, University of Freiburg, Switzerland.
Abstract:
Various fragments of the wing disc from third instar larvae ofZaprionus vittiger were implanted into mature host larvae. From the differentiated structures observed in the metamorphosed transplants, a fate map (anlage plan) was constructed which includes the primordia for the thoracic colored stripes and the anlagen for several thoracic bristle organs. Our present data forZ. vittiger andDrosophila melangaster are in accord with the fate map reported earlier forD. melanogaster, with the only exception that the medio-lateral orientation of the primordia in the wing disc is reversed.

Veins of Thorax
The azygos vein, positioned just right of the midline and anterior to the vertebral column, begins at the junction of the right ascending lumbar and subcostal veins, terminating in the superior vena cava. This vein drains blood from the right side of the thoracic wall, thoracic viscera, and posterior abdominal wall.

History:
Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...

Zones of Protection
Protective zones are defined by closed dashed lines, containing one or more components. A key characteristic of these zones is the strategic placement of...
Fates of Pyruvate
In aerobic organisms, pyruvate is metabolized via the citric acid cycle to produce reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2. These coenzymes are then oxidized in the electron transport chain to produce ATP and, in the process, regenerate the NAD+ and FAD. As seen in some cell types and organisms, fermentation...
