1995, Laboratory Studies of Vertebrate and Invertebrate Embryos. The above three figures are modified versions of Fig.Ī, p.3 of Schoenwolf, G.C. We then 'read' these two-dimensional sections to try to visualize the three-dimensional organization of all the layers and parts of an embryo at one stage of development. We affix each section, in order, on a microscope slide and stain the sections before we look at them with the microscope. Serial sections are where we slice an embryo as if it was a sausage. We have to look at serial sections of embryos. To see what's going on inside, we typically cannot dissect an embryo because it's too small. Most embryos are not transparent once they become more than a few cell layers thick, we only see what's happening on the outside. Some embryos remain transparent throughout their development and we can see what's going on inside and outside at the same time. Everyone enjoys watching living embryos develop or watching time-lapse movies of developing embryos. Direct observation is the ideal method for visualizing developing embryos. Why We Look At Serial Sections of Embryos When we study embryology, we need to visualize the changes that occur in developing embryos. 48 HOUR CHICK EMBRYO SERIAL CROSS SECTION DOWNLOADAnyway, e-mail me, Laurie Iten ( ), if you want to know how and where to download these movies. If you're not a member, -it really doesn't cost that much to join and it's a great organization to belong to. To download these movies, you need to be a member of the SDB. Get Quicktime Serially Sectioned Frog Embryo Movies 4 mm 5 mm 7 mm 10 mm Serially Sectioned Chick Embryo Movies 24 hr 33 hr 33 hr 48 hr 48 hr 56 hr If you want to use these movies in your classes, you can download the full-size QuickTime movies of these embryos. All show sequential cross sections going anterior-to-posterior (head-to-tail). What you can see here are small 'postage-stamp' versions of these movies of serially sectioned frog and chick embryos. Students like watching and using these QuickTime movies to learn about developing embryos, and we want to share these movies with other students of developmental biology. After we made movies of several serially sectioned frog and chick embryos, we started using them in our developmental biology labs. We then used the sequence of images of an embryo to make a QuickTime digital movie. Left wholemount preparation and right cross section.Īnother Way To Look at Serially Sectioned Frog and Chick Embryos What we show here is the first part of a project we call '4-D Embryology-Embryos in Three Dimensions and Their Changes Over Time.' We captured digital images of all the sections of serially sectioned embryos. The two flexures in the head region are almost completed. The rotation of the embryo to the left is arrived such behind the region of the heart and only the caudal part of the embryo must twist 90 degrees. Chicken: 72 h: This page on the embryology in chicken relates to the following.
