Cranial Nerve Development Experiment

Embryo details


Species: Gallus gallus domesticus
Embryo Name: RC014
Embryo stage: ST31
Staging description: Staged by Reuben according to the Hamburger and Hamilton (1951) staging system. (Notebook entry 10th January 2011). Staging has not been confirmed.

  • Beak morphology matches ST30-ST31.
  • Legs match ST30-ST31.
  • Lines within the eye are present pigmentation matches 31 more closely.


Fixation:PFA
Cryoprotection: None.
Material label and storage: Stored in vial filled with PFA labeled RC-014 31 and placed in a container labeled 'Reuben's staged embryos' next to the dissection microscope.

Experiment details


Objective: To use as a practice embryo for staging.
Procedure: Staged the embryo by observing the embryo under a dissection microscope and comparing its morphological properties with those described in the Hamburger and Hamilton (1951) paper whilst looking at our own compilation of images organized by stage.
Comments:

Results

Embryo is approximately ST31.

Summary

This embryo may be used in further experiments as approximately a ST31 embryo however confirmation is needed.
