Chick v1 Flashcards
type of egg that can survive on land
amniote egg
puddle of non-yolky cytoplasm that sits atop the yolk
blastodisc
complete type of cleavage in chick embryo
meroblastic and discoidal
3 layers of the shell (indicate which is/are calcified)
mammillary layer (calcified) spongy layer (calcified) cuticular membrane (outermost; not calcified)
number of hours taken from ovulation to laying of the egg
24 hours
composition of albumen
water (88%) and glycoproteins
enumerate the proteins found in the albumen (indicate their functions)
ovalbumen (most abundant)
lysozyme (antibacterial; disrupts bacterial cell walls)
ovotransferrin (antibacterial; binds iron)
avidin (antibacterial; binds biotin)
ovomucin (antiviral)
cystatin (antiviral)
first step in chick gastrulation
delamination
stage of oocyte upon ovulation
secondary oocyte
phenomenon where one sperm pronucleus fuses with the egg pronucleus
physiological polyspermy
enumerate the 3 yolk lipids
glycerides
phospholipids
sterol
number of days before a duck egg hatches
27 days
where notochordal cells diverge, ingress, and migrate forward rather than laterally
Hensen’s node
line of ingression that is analogous to the dorsal lip of the blastopore
primitive streak
2 layers formed during delamination (indicate what layers they are made of)
epiblast (consisting of presumptive ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm)
hypoblast (consisting of extraembryonic endoderm)
the anterior-to-posterior wave of progression of the primitive streak
regression of the primitive streak
the region in a gastrulating chick that induces the formation of the primitive streak and Hensen’s node
Koller’s sickle region
enumerate the 4 extra-embryonic membranes (indicate their functions)
amnion (provides isotonic fluid and buffering)
chorion (serves as protection)
allantois (stores nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid)
yolk sac (brings yolk nutrients back to embryo proper)
defect in which the neural plate does not fully close
spina bifida
also called the “primary organizer” because it can induce the axial organization of the embryo
notochordal mesoderm
enumerate examples of structures formed by the neural crest cells
pigment cells (but not pigmented retina) membrane bones in face and skull dentine-secreting cells of teeth adrenal medulla sympathetic ganglia
3 subdivisions of somites (indicate what they will form)
sclerotome (forms vertebrate and ribs)
myotome (forms skeletal muscles of back and appendages)
dermatome (gives rise to dermis)
reason why the proamnion is clear
it consists of only the endoderm and ectoderm
trace the path of a mature ovum traveling through the oviduct (indicate what happens in each part)
fimbria infundibulum (site of fertilization)
magnum (secretes albumen)
isthmus (addition of chalazae and inner/outer shell membranes
uterus (plumping; addition of salts and water)
vagina
cloaca
space that separates blastoderm from yolk
subgerminal cavity
nutrients found in egg yolk
water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates
region of blastoderm still connected to underlying yolk
area opaca
shows location of each germ layer prior to gastrulation and its route of travel during gastrulation
fate map
enumerate and differentiate the 2 subdivisions of the area opaca
area vitellina (outer; contains yolk granules) area vasculosa (inner; where blood islands are forming)
