Aspect: |
Biological Process |
Desc: |
Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an epithelial cell within an open tracheal system regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed. Tracheal cells are set aside as 10 clusters of approximately 80 cells on each side of the embryo (termed tracheal placodes). An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. |
Synonyms:
- tracheal placode cell fate determination
- tracheal cell fate determination
