Study Notes
Embryonic Development in Chick Embryos
- The embryonic area around the primitive streak is referred to as the gastrula.
Area Pellucida
- The area pellucida is circular in shape.
Neural Plate and Primitive Streak
- The mesoderm separates the neural plate from the primitive streak.
Head and Blastoderm
- The space between the head and the blastoderm is known as the subgerminal cavity.
Developmental Stages
- The cephalic region projects free from the blastoderm for a considerable distance at the head process stage.
- The head process stage occurs approximately 18-19 hours after incubation.
- The primitive streak is not yet visible in the chick embryo at the gastrula stage.
Embryonic Regions
- The region opposite to the caudal end of the embryo is called the cephalic end.
Posterior End of the Embryo
- The primitive streak is present in the part of area pellucida and marks the posterior end of the embryo.
Subgerminal Cavity
- The hypoblast forms the roof of the subgerminal cavity in the chick embryo.
