CHAPTER 5 – EARLY CRANIATE MORPHOLOGY

CRANIATE EGGS

Egg Types:
1. MICROLECITHAL – little yolk
Amphioxus and placental Mammals
2. MESOLECITHAL – moderate amount of yolk freshwater Lamprays, basal Actinopterygian and Neopterygian fishes, Lungfishes and Amphibians
3. MACROLECITHAL– massice amounts of yolk marine lampray. Elasmobranchs ,Teleosts, Reptiles and Monotremes
Egg Distribution:
1. ISOLECITHAL – yolk with even distribution of yolk (Microlecithal eggs)
2. TELEOLECITHAL – yolk tend to accumulate at opposite poles Vegetal pole – Mesolecithal & Macrolecithal the large yolk tends to be concentrated at one end Animal pole – containing the nucleus and relatively yolk-free cytoplasm

Oviparity and Viviparity
OVIPAROUS – animals that spawn and lay eggs eggs contain sufficient nourishment in the form of yolk, and sometimes albumen to support development into a free-living organism that is able to take food orally massive yolk: young hatch essentially fully formed (i.g. birds) less yolk: hatch in a larval stage (i.g. frogs) little yolk: the free-living, self-nourishing stage must be achieved very quickly after the egg is deposited (i.g. ampioxus egg)
VIVIPAROUS – animals that give birth to offspring embryo is dependent on the mother for all nourishment, for oxygen, and for carrying away waste products of metabolism (i.g. placental mammals) no viviparous crocodile and turtles
20% of lizards and snakes (squamata) are viviparous urodels and anurans are viviparous if on land
OVIVIPARITY – viviparous condition where the developing embryo receives maternal protection and oxygen from mother but nourishment has been stored in the egg
Shark, dogfish shark (Squalus acanthias) EUVIVIPARITY – the viviparous condition in which the embryo cannot develop without nourishment being constantly supplied by the mother from maternal tissue
Placental mammals
*HISTOPROTIC (embryotrophic) Nutrition – term applied to nutrition by glandular secretions

    The zygote cell is the first stage of the embryo. The zygote contains DNA from both parents which create a unique new identity that has never existed. That is the start of a baby, therefore a pregnancy is not just the woman and her body; new life has already begun since the zygote has the four criteria needed to establish biological life which include growth, metabolism, reaction to a stimuli, and reproduction. About 22 days after conception the baby’s heart begins to circulate its own blood and a heartbeat can be detected and by six weeks that same baby has facial features and brain activity has begun. By after just 10 short weeks, still in the first trimester, the baby can…

    Brine Shrimp Eggs Experiment

    • 10 Pages

    While producing eggs under favorable conditions, some species or strains are viviparious (live birth) and some may reproduce via parthenogenesis. Brine shrimp eggs are metabolically inactive and can remain in total stasis for several years while in a dry, oxygen-free environment, even at temperatures below freezing. This characteristic is called cryptobiosis meaning "hidden life" (also called diapause). Once placed in water, the cyst-like eggs hatch within a few hours, and will grow to a mature length of around one centimeter on…

    The fetal origins hypothesis proposes that certain genes in the fetus may or may not be “turned on” depending on the environment that the mother is exposed to while pregnant (Hampton, 2004). Healthy embryo and fetal development is highly dependent upon the growth rate and the complexity of the easiness of how deficit any nutrients needed during the stages of development could affect the delicate process. Folic acid is important for the first four weeks because the central nervous system is forming. Lacking of folic acid could potentially result in neural tube defects. Iodine in the early stage is important for brain development and without it there could be damage to the brain leading to effects like mental retardation. The could also be other nutrient deficiencies that are less damaging but would still impact the health of a child during their life. Even in the womb the fetus is able to store nutrients such as iron, vitamins D and B12, and fat that will last during the last few weeks to help with development outside of the mother.…

    Pregnancy begins when a sperm penetrates an egg. One to one and a half days later, the single fertilised egg cell begins to divide. After two or three days there are enough new cells to make the fertilised egg the size of a pin head. The embryo then gets attached to the wall of the uterus by a placenta. Then a chemical signal stops the woman from having another menstrual period. After eight weeks, the embryo may have grown to between 3 and 4 cm, has a recognisable heartbeat and the beginnings of the eyes, ears, a mouth, legs and arms. At this stage the growing organism is called a foetus.…
