In frog embryos, gastrulation initiates at the site identified as the gray crescent, located on the future dorsal side of the embryo, slightly below the equatorial region. This process involves cells migrating inward to form a structure similar to a blastopore .
Embryo: 1 to 20 (about) Intracapsular. Development through cleavage, gastrulation, and appearance of neural tube and eventually gills and tail. Hatchling: 21 (about) to 24: Transition from relatively immobile embryo to an active, feeding tadpole. Specimens at these stages may sometimes be referred to as "larvae". Tadpole: 25 to 41
Diagram of stages of embryo development to a larval and adult stage. In developmental biology, animal embryonic development, also known as animal embryogenesis, is the developmental stage of an animal embryo. Embryonic development starts with the fertilization of an egg cell (ovum) by a sperm cell (spermatozoon). [1]
Cross section of a vertebrate embryo in the neurula stage. A neurula is a vertebrate embryo at the early stage of development in which neurulation occurs. The neurula stage is preceded by the gastrula stage; consequentially, neurulation is preceded by gastrulation. [1] Neurulation marks the beginning of the process of organogenesis. [2]
The primitive node (or primitive knot) is the organizer for gastrulation in most amniote embryos. In birds, it is known as Hensen's node, and in amphibians, it is known as the Spemann-Mangold organizer. It is induced by the Nieuwkoop center in amphibians, or by the posterior marginal zone in amniotes including birds.
Frog (Xenopus), as well as other amphibian, gastrulation serves as an excellent example of the role of convergent extension in embryogenesis. During gastrulation in frogs, the driving force of convergent extension is the morphogenic activity of the presumptive dorsal mesodermal cells; this activity is driven by the mesenchymal cells that lie ...
Invagination of the archenteron during sea urchin gastrulation. Sea urchin gastrulation is another classic model for invagination in embryology. One of the early gastrulation movements in sea urchins is the invagination of a region of cells at the vegetal side of the embryo (vegetal plate) to become the archenteron, or future gut tube. There ...
Upon fertilization, this membrane splits off from the surface of the egg and the space between the vitelline membrane and the embryo is filled with perivitelline fluid. This fluid surrounds the embryo and yolk plug. The yolk Plug nourishes the embryo and indicates that the embryo is near the end of gastrulation.
