Frog Embryology
The Egg
The frog egg is a huge cell; its volume is over 1.6 million times larger than a normal frog cell.

Embryology is a subfield, the study of organisms between the one-cell stage (generally, the zygote) and the end of the embryonic stage, which is not necessarily the beginning of a free living organism.

embryology The study of development from the egg to the point that all major organ systems have formed.
embryonic axis The main root/shoot body of a seedling.

embryology - study of embryogenesis, the development of animals and plants from fertilization to birth/hatching.
epiboly - literally, "over the ball," usually the growth of epidermal ectoderm to cover the surface of the embryo during gastrulation.

in embryology, delimitation of a specific area in an organ-forming field, giving definite shape and limits to the organ primordium.

Neural plate
The neural plate is thick and flat bundle of ectoderm which develops in the embryo into the nervous system.

Use comparative embryology, molecular biology, anatomy, and fossil record to show probably evolutionary relationships.

The study of comparative embryology also supplied evidence of the relatedness of organisms. The study of embryos of vertebrate organisms revealed striking similarities in their early development.

One of the really great advantages of zebra fish embryos is that they're really accessible for experimental embryology sorts of approaches. That means that we can move cells from one embryo to another embryo and learn how those cells respond.

Originating in embryology, today developmental biology studies the genetic control of cell growth, differentiation and "morphogenesis," which is the process that gives rise to tissues, organs and anatomy.

Homozygous: An organism is described as homozygous when it has inherited alleles of a specific gene pair which are the same.
Homozygote An individual who has two identical allells of the gene.

The evolutionary origin of chordates remains a mystery, although biochemistry and comparative embryology indicates echinoderms and chordates share a common ancestry.

experimental removal or killing of some part of an organism; for example, in experimental embryology, used to determine what effect absence of the structure will have on development of the remaining embryo.

Smith became intrigued by DNA studies in the mid-1950s at a small college in Nebraska where, as he explains it, "An embryology teacher opened my eyes to the significance of DNA, and from there, my main scientific motivation was almost philosophical." ...

1) In histology, the term is used to mean a serous membrane such as the peritoneum, pleura, and pericardium. A serous membrane is composed of a layer of epithelium with a thin layer of connective tissue. Synonym: tunica serosa. 2) In embryology, ...

blastomere Any one of the cells formed from the first few cleavages in animal embryology. The embryo usually divides into two, then four, then eight blastomeres, and so on.

Nieuwkoop: "In my opinion, the central question in embryology is therefore the nature of competence, its formation, climax, and decline." From: R. Gordon, N.K. Bjorklund, P.D. Nieuwkoop.
