The overall goal of Boot Camp - Day 2 is to give you a solid understanding of vertebrate embryogenesis. We want you to know the terms and basic events so that you can begin to compare and contrast embryogenesis in different classes of vertebrates.
Before class begins on Thursday, June 4, you should read the following:
- Torrey's "Morphogenesis
of the Vertebrates" (downloads
available)
Part 1: Number 3 (A Preview of Embryology)
Part 2: Number 6 (Cleavage and Gastrulation)
Part 2: Number 7 (Cleavage and Germ Layer Formation)
Part 2: Number 8 (Amphibian Cleavage)
Part 2: Number 9 (Avian Cleavage)
Part 2: Number 10 (Early Human Development)
| TRAINING DAY 2 - PRESENTATION (available) |
|
AIM 1
To know the basic terminology used to describe positions in the embryo. All developmental biologists are embryologists too. They know how to communicate the position, orientation, and dynamic changes in their organism to relate it to other species. |
|
AIM 2 To understand the basics of cleavage. This will entail knowing all the terms for the different types of cleavage and how embryos deal with yolk. |
|
AIM 3
To know the basic terms used to describe gastrulation in vertebrates. This aim is to give you the background to compare the contrast gastrulation in the different classes of vertebrates. |
|
AIM 4
To understand germ layer formation and the basic structure of the trilaminar embryo. |
