Inoculation of an Egg
1. EGG INOCULATION

The fertile hen’s egg can be used to cultivate and propagate various types of viruses. Because of the ability to alter their tropism and to adapt to a new host species, many viruses become capable of growing in chick embryo tissues wherein they frequently attain a much higher concentration than in the tissues of the natural host.

STRUCTURE OF AN EGG

The extra-embryonic membranes of the chick embryo arise from three germinal layers: the endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm (Fig. 1). The dorsal somatopleure consists of ectoderm on one side and mesoderm on the other side while the splanchnopleure consists of mesoderm and endoderm. By a process of folding, the somatopleure gives rise to the chorion and amnion while the allantois and yolk sac membranes develop from the splanchnopleure. The amnion arises from the head and caudal regions of the embryo, the membrane being reflected back to form the chorion. the amniotic membranes grow rapidly and fuse to form the amniotic sac by the 5th day. The allantois grows out as a bud from the hind gut of the embryo and enlarges rapidly. By the 10th day the allantois becomes attached to the outer layer of the amniotic sac and the inner layer of the chorion to form the chorioallantoic sac (CAS) which separates the chorion from the amnion. The fused chorionic and allantoic membranes are referred to as the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM).

Because the CAS represents a diverticulum of the gut, it serves as the excretory receptacle for the embryo. It contains from 5 to 10 ml of fluid with dissolved solids, the solution being clear in early stages but becoming turbid after the 12th day due to the presence of urates. The CAM is the respiratory organ of the embryo and thus is richly supplied with blood vessels. The embryo is surrounded by the amniotic sac and lies bathed in about 1 ml of amniotic fluid. The amniotic fluid, which contains much of the albumin in the egg, serves as a source of protein which is

    An egg is a model of a human because the egg has a cell membrane like humans do inside and outside of the body that let things pass through like water. We can use eggs to study the effect of changes in the external environment on the internal environment by having harsh environments like putting the egg in only alcohol and see what happens to the inside of the egg. Diffusion is the movement of a substance down its concentration gradient from a more to a less concentrated area. Meaning if there was more oxygen on one side of the membrane and the membrane was permeable to oxygen, the oxygen would pass through to the side of less oxygen. Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. Diffusion and osmosis is important for organisms because our nutrients, oxygen, and etc., need diffusion to go through compartments. I predicted that the more the concentrated the alcohol solution was the mass would increase because I thought the membrane would let alcohol through which would cause the egg to expand.…

    Alexander Tsiaras did an amazing video “From Conception to Birth” illustrating how an embryo develops into a child. Having gone through the process twice myself, reading through the prenatal chapter in “Child and Adolescent Development”, and then seeing it played out on screen was a unique perspective. The visualization of the fetus at 25 days with a heart chamber, 32 days with arms and hands developing, 36 days with the beginning of the vertebrae and 52 days with retina, nose and fingers, was eye opening to say the least. During, Tsiaras’ creation of the 3 dimensional modeling, of the expulsion and delivery stage and how the infant has to maneuver to be born, I was comparing it to how a bird is hatched from an egg. It is not a situation…

    Pregnancy begins when the embryo implants or embeds itself in the living of the uterus wall and develops. An amniotic sac filled with fluid that surrounds the embryo and acts as a shock absorber. A placenta filled with the mother’s blood and through which the embryo obtains nutrients and eliminates waste. The umbilical cord contains the blood vessels that transport nutrients, oxygen and waste products between the embryo and the placenta. The first few weeks of the pregnancy are critical for the embryo and its development can be affected by the health and behaviour of the mother.…

    Many might think that an egg is made up of cells, when in actuality and egg itself is a cell. An egg has several main parts, including the egg shell (that acts as the cell membrane), the egg yolk and the egg white. There’s also a tiny white mass that is very important, it’s called the ovum, and it is the living part of the cell. If a hen lays an egg without mating with a cock then the ovum will not develop. If the hen does mate, then the egg will be fertile and it develops into a little chick. The egg being worked with in this experiment is not fertile (Lawrence Hall of Science 2009).…

    In “The Egg and the Sperm”, by Emily Martin, Martin it is explainsed how society’s predisposed views about gender can interfere with real scientific research. Additionally, she suggests (or some other verb--otherwise this isn’t a full sentence) how these views can lead to a perpetuation connection of cultural stereotypes about men and women and their respective reproductive cells. Implementing these human stereotypes on genderless cells “encourages people to imagine that what results is […] of deliberate ‘human’ action on a cellular level” (861). When cells are given human traits, they are made into more than a cell. They become human, which can cause complications, such as giving reasons for the rescinding of abortion rights. Clearly with…

    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.…

    Sherwood Anderson’s “The Egg” is a work that, viewed through the eyes of Freud, would have the theory of the tripartite psyche. The main character’s view of his father and mother inter play perfectly with Oedipal references. The character’s view of life in general is affected by his early childhood recollections and experiences, and Freud would have a heyday if this patient were on his couch. Ironically, the egg in the story relates to failures and destruction rather than the new life it should represent.…
