| Name: | intersegmental vessel |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | intersegmental vessels, intersomitic vessels, segmental vessel |
| Definition: | Blood vessels that connect the dorsal aorta or the posterior cardinal vein and the dorsal longitudinal anastomotic vessel. They run along the vertical myotomal boundaries. At early stages these vessels don't have venous or arterial markers. |

| Name: | MAPK cascade |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | ERK/MAPK cascade, MAP kinase cascade, MAP kinase kinase kinase cascade, MAPK signal transduction, MAPK signaling, MAPK signalling, MAPKKK cascade, MAPKKK cascade during sporulation, mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade |
| Definition: | An intracellular protein kinase cascade containing at least a MAP kinase (MAPK). It starts with the activation of a MAP3K, and the consecutive activation of a MPK2K and a MAPK. The cascade can also contain an additional tier: the upstream MAP4K. The kinases in each tier phosphorylate and activate the kinase in the downstream tier to transmit a signal within a cell. |
