Neurulation in the chick, after the node regresses
Typical vertebrate organization of the chick embryo(and >200 selector gene domains)**Or wait until the embryo lifts off the yolk sacNotochordSomatic mesodermVisceral mesoderm
Extra-embryonic membranes of the chick
Amnion and chorion: contain ectoderm and somatic mesodermYolk sac and allantois: contain enododerm and visceral mesoderm
Chick development: Formation of the allantois
Human or mouse embryo: pre-implantation stages4. hatching1. compactiongene expression starts128 cellDay 7-humanDay 5.5-mouse22. Blastocyst cavity formation3. Cell sorting (hypo vs. epi)
Mouse pre-implantation stages: compaction, apical-basal polarization, cleavage, blastocyst cavity formationCompaction at the late 8-cell stage, With apical-basal polarization of cells128-cell blastocystcompaction128-cell blastocyst
