FOETAL MEMBRANES OF CHICK In amniotes the developing embryo in order to grow properly foetal membranes are formed. When few membranes are produced by mother, it should take more care for their survival. If the number are more, care will be less. In amniotes when the developing embryo is…
The mesoderm is proliferated by primitive streak. It is formed as two layers. In front of the primitive streak an area without mesoderm is present. It is called proamnion. After 48 hours of incubation the proamnion is also occupied by mesoderm. The mesoderm is divided into dorsal and intermediate and…
The second step in gastrulation is the formation of primitive streak. At the posterior region of area pellucida in the mid dorsal line primitive streak will appear as a thickened area. It starts eight hours after incubation. The thickening is because convergence of cells of blastoderm towards the centre. Usually in…
Formation of endoderm: Endoderm of hypoblast develops as a single layer of cells in side of blastocoel. After the formation of endoderm, upper layer is called epiblast. There are different theories to explain the formation of endoderm. Infiltration theory: This was proposed by Peter in 1923. According to this theory…
In the upper region of oviduct fertilization will takes place. One sperm will penetrate into hens egg and fertilizes with the egg. The fertilized egg will travel through oviduct. It takes nearly 22 hours. Hence the early development of egg will take place in oviduct. Cleavage: Cleavage is restricted to…
The fully formed and freshly laid hen's egg is large. It is 3cm. in diameter and 5cm. in length. It contains enarmous amount of yolk. Such egg is called macrolecithal egg. The egg is oval in shape. The ovum contains a nucleus. It is covered by yolk free cytoplasm. It…
EMBRYOLOGY OF CHICK The following list clearly describes about embryological changes in chick egg during incubation. FRESHLY LAID HEN'S EGG CHICK EMBRYO AT 24 HOURS CHICK EMBRYO AT 48 HOURS GASTRULATION IN CHICK-I GASTRULATION IN CHICK-II - FORMATION OF ENDODERM GASTRULATION IN CHICK-III - FORMATION OF PRIMITIVE STREAK…
The Study of the developmental stages of an organism is called If we observe the embryos of different animals, there is a similarity. This similarity tells us that there is a relationship between the animals. The embryological evidences show support to organic evolution. SEQUENCE OF DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES All…
Description: As the study of embryology continues to be integrated with a range of disciplines, Before We Are Born remains the ideal solution for students who need to quickly learn the basics. Fully updated by the world’s foremost embryologists, this medical reference book provides concise guidance on human embryology at every stage of development, utilizing rich illustrations…
