Allantois
|
the set of extraembryonic membreans that develops in some vertebrate embyros. The chick it serves to moves nitrogenous wastes and calcium to form the skeleton.
|
|
amnion
|
the extraembryonic membrans that surrounds the developing embryo in a fluid-filled sac.
|
|
animal region
|
the end of the fertilized egg where th nuclues is located. dark half in frog
|
|
archenteron
|
the cavity formed inside the developing embryo when the endoderm and mesoderm invaginate during gastrulation. forms the gut
|
|
area opaca
|
the dark outer rim of cells that lie outside the translucent area pellucida in chick
|
|
area pellucida
|
the translucent inner disk of cells that is surrounded by the darker area opaca in chick
|
|
bipinnaria
|
the free-swimming bilaterally symmetrical larva of a starfish (pluteus)
|
|
blastocoel
|
the cavity the forms inside of the blastula
|
|
blastoderm/blastodisc
|
a post-cleavage embryu with a disk-shaped morphology in chick
|
|
blastomeres
|
the cells dervied fromm cleavage of the early embryo
|
|
blastopore
|
the opening in the gastruls through which the mesoderm and endoderm invaginate to form the archenteron
|
|
blastula
|
the early embryonic stae that consists of a hollow ball of cells surrounding the blastocoel cavity.
|
|
Chorion
|
the outermost of the extraembryonic membranes in birds, reptiles, and mammals, in the chick, the chorion lies just beneath the shell and is involved in gas exchange. in mammals, the chorion forms part of the placenta.
|
|
cleavage
|
the series of rapid divisions without growth the follows fertilization and divides the zygote into a larger number of equally sized smaller cells
|
|
ectoderm
|
the germ layer that gives rise to epidermal tissues and the nervous system
|
|
endoderm
|
the germ layer that gives rise to the lining of the gut and associated organs, such as the liver
|
|
epiblast
|
the outer cells of the chick blastoderm that give rise to the developing embryo
|
|
gamete
|
a haploid egg or sperm
|
|
gastrula
|
the stage of embryotic development the follows the blastual stage. the 3 germ layers are present and the endoderm forms by invaginatioin
|
|
germ layers
|
the regions of the early embryo that give rise to distinct types of tissue: endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm
|
|
Hensen's node
|
a group of cells at the anterior end of the primative streak that gives rise to the notochord
|
|
macromeres
|
the large vegetal calls that form from unequal cleavage in the early urchin embryo
|
|
mesoderm
|
the germ layer that gives rise to the skeleton, musculature, connective tissues, and some internal organs such as the heart
|
|
micromeres
|
the small veetal cells that form from the unequal cleavage in the early urchin embryo
|
|
morula
|
a very early stage of embryonic development during which the embryo consists of a solid ball of cells
|
|
neurulation
|
the process in which the ectoderm the forms the neural plate folds to form the neural tube
|
|
notochord
|
a flexible rodlike structure in chordates the serves as a skeleton for the developing embryo. indues formation of the neural tube
|
|
primitive streak
|
the strip of cells in the eaerly chick embryo through which the mesodermal and endodernal cells invaginate during gastrulation
|
|
somites
|
in chordates, segmented blocks of mesoderm that are found on either side of the notochord
|
|
vegetal region
|
the region of the fertilized egg that lies opposite the animal region. typically contains most of the yolk and gives rise to mesoderm and endoderm
|
|
endoderm
|
the germ layer that gives rise to the lining of the gut and associated organs, such as the liver
