| Name: | pharyngeal arch |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | pharyngeal arches |
| Definition: | One of a series of paired bony or cartilaginous arches that develop along the lateral walls of the foregut. The pharyngeal arches have developmental contributions from endoderm, mesoderm, and neural crest cells and are separated by anterior lateral endoderm out-pockets known as pharyngeal pouches. There are seven pharyngeal arches. |

| Name: | BMP signaling pathway |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | BMP receptor signaling pathway, BMP signalling pathway, bone morphogenetic protein signaling pathway, bone morphogenetic protein signalling pathway, decapentaplegic receptor signaling pathway, decapentaplegic receptor signalling pathway, decapentaplegic signaling pathway, dpp receptor signaling pathway, dpp receptor signalling pathway, dpp signaling pathway |
| Definition: | The series of molecular signals initiated by the binding of a member of the BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) family to a receptor on the surface of a target cell, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. |
