Hyaline layer
Blastomere
Cleavage furrow
What are the blastomeres located at the animal pole?
micromeres
What are the blastomeres located at the vegetal pole?
Macromeres
At what stage of development do blastoderms form?
blastula
Amount of yolk in frog?
mesolecothal
Distribution of yolk in frogs
Moderately telolecithal
a series of mitotic divisions that characterizes
this stage.
cleavage
The first two (2) cleavages are ______________ while the third is __________
vertical
horizontal
What cleavage furrow is the 2-cell stage?
1st cleavage furrow
What cleavage furrows show that the fully formed and separated blastomeres of the frog’s egg is found only in the animal hemisphere at this stage.
2nd and 3rd
What specific cleavage stage for 8-32 cell stages?
late cleavage stage
What cell is formed in the cleavage stage?
blastula
The advancing margin of the rapidly dividing cells is known as the?
germ ring
What forms the gray crescent?
involution of cells
In early gastrula sections, you will note that the invaginated cells are separated from the yolk mass of the vegetal hemisphere, leaving a slit-like space between these cells and overlying the ectoderm called the?
gastric slit
What three structures form the floor of the new cavity in gastrulation?
Roof, archenteron and foremost of these advancing endoderm cells.
What specific stage
The cells at the dorsal lip will be seen to have progressed far enough inward to form both floor and roof.
late gastrula
differentiate floor and roof
roof is small, pigmented and relatively yolk-free
floor is large, non-pigmented and highly yolked
The cells lining the archenteron form the?
endoderm
Involution of the ventral margin of the germ ring forms the?
ventral lip
ectoderm, the outermost layer of cells surrounding the entire gastrula, over the archenteric roof which will give rise to the?
medullary plate
Origin of mesoderm?
Cells from ectoderm and endoderm
