Describe two mechanisms that contribute to anterior-posterior axis elongation. Solution The anterior posterior axis elongation takes place by formation of primitive streak (PS). Convergent extension (CE) movements by cell intercalation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) also contribute to anterior posterior axis elongation.Apart from this,Wnt ligands such as Wnt 11 and Wnt 5a also contribute to anterior posterior elongation..
