Eggs and cleavage
Cleavage - splitting
Size and distribution of yolk
Polarity in some
Animal pole - embro
Vegetal pole - yolk
Holoblastic cleavage
complete, all embryo
isolechital eggs
sparse, evenly distributed yolk
- therian mammals, amphixous
Mesolechital eggs
moderate vegetal yolk disposition
- amphibians
meroblastic
incomplete cleavage
telolecithal (megalecithal)
dense yolk
discoidal cleavage
only small part becomes embryo
- most fish, reptiles, birds, monotremes
Early stages
Label:
Blastopore
Gastrocoel
Endoderm
Ectoderm
yellow; ectoderm
blue; endoderm
red; gastrocoel
dark blue; blastopore
gastrula
invagination
opening
blastopore
deuterostome
“second mouth”
- becomes anus in craniates
tube
gastocoel or archenteron
diploblastic - two layers
Endoderm - inside
Ectoderm - outside
Mesoderm
Differentation
Quickly the tissue layers begin to differentaite
Neuralation
Mesoderm splits
Dermatome - dermis
myotome
muscle
sclerotime
vertebrae, vertebral rib
nephrotome
kidney
somatic hypomere
limbs, peritoneum, gonads
splachnic hypomere
heart, blood vessels, mesenteries that cover organs (dorsal and ventral mesenteries)
ectoderm
epidermis, nerves and brain, some other contributions thrugh neural crest
