We start with fundamental structures; anteroposterior axis, triploblasty, segmentation, etc., and then these structures evolved into more complex and derived structures.

-
A first model describing the three independent systems involved in establishing the anteroposterior axis was presented in an article in SCIENCE, with Frohnhöfer and Lehmann, in 1987.
-
A large fraction of the genes identified in both the zygotic and the maternal screens affect either the anteroposterior or the dorsoventral axis.

-
The refinement of the dorsoventral pattern on the dorsal side involves a long range signalling process, unlike the series of prepatterns of transcription factors observed along the anteroposterior axis (40).

-
These studies led to the surprising conclusion that the basic features of body organization, such as specification along the anteroposterior axis, and polarity of gastrulation, are apparently conserved in organisms of different animal phyla (21, 22).

-
The subsequent phenotypic analysis and molecular cloning of many of these genes, and investigation into the interactions of their products, resulted in a rather complete general picture of the mechanisms establishing the anteroposterior and the dorsoventral axis of the early embryo

-
The identification and analysis of the maternal genes affecting the segmentation pattern revealed that the anteroposterior axis is controlled by three groups of genes, each independently determining a subset of the pattern, the segmented anterior or posterior, or the unsegmented terminal regions of the embryo (35-37).

-
On this wall are three irregular anteroposterior passages, termed the superior, middle, and inferior meatuses of the nose.
-
The anteroposterior or conjugate diameter extends from the sacrovertebral angle to the symphysis pubis; its average measurement is about 110 mm. in the female.
