    33-Hour Chick Embryo: Central Nervous System

    Uploaded by

    araneya
    The 33-hour chick embryo develops much faster than a comparable 4-week human embryo. In the 33-hour chick embryo, the neural tube has closed and differentiated into the major brain regions: forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain further divides into the telencephalon and diencephalon. The diencephalon has evaginated to form the optic vesicles and infundibulum. Rudiments of the circulatory system are also present. This stage shows an astonishing development of the central nervous system in just 33 hours.

    10 33-Hour Chick Embryo

    Whereas the 24-hour chick embryo was roughly equivalent to a 3-week human embryo, a 33-hour chick
    embryo is roughly equivalent to a 4-week human embryo; what takes hours in a chick embryo takes
    days in a human embryo. This dramatic difference in developmental rates, in embryos with such similar
    developmental patterns maintained at roughly the same temperatures, teases the mind with questions.
    Can you suggest any reasons for the difference? Publish them (I’m serious) or discuss them with your
    lab colleagues.
    You will be using whole mounts and serial cross sections to study the 33-hour chick embryo. Be
    sure you are able to identify all structures printed in boldface, and record in your laboratory notebook
    your answers to any questions posed. You will also find it useful to keep track of germ layers as you
    study the cross sections. Do this by color-coding all the tissues in each cross-sectional diagram in the
    chapter. Remember the cardinal code of embryological colors: blue = ectoderm; red = mesoderm;
    yellow = endoderm; green = neural crest. The coloring is easy, and the corollaries you can derive from
    it will serve you well. It teaches you the answers to all those dreaded questions that start out, “What is
    the germ layer origin of…?”
    Upon looking at the 33-hour whole mount, you will immediately notice that two major advances
    have taken place since 24 hours of development. The anterior nerve cord is now a brain subdivided into
    its major regions, and the rudiments of the circulatory system are present. Understand the general
    outline of these advances to introduce yourself to this stage.

    Central nervous system


    The neural tube, closed along much of its length, has become specialized anteriorly to form the brain. It
    has three major subdivisions—the forebrain (prosencephalon), midbrain (mesencephalon), and
    hindbrain (rhombencephalon)—which are visible as a series of enlargements. The forebrain is further
    divided into an anterior telencephalon and posterior diencephalon. The diencephalon is becoming
    very complex: its walls have evaginated to form optic vesicles, which later become the optic cups; its
    floor has evaginated to form the infundibulum, which later becomes the posterior part of the pituitary
    gland; its roof, at this point, has no evaginations, but by 48 hours will have evaginated to form the
    epiphysis, later to become the pineal gland. This is an astonishing array of derivatives. The hindbrain
    is also subdivided, forming a metencephalon anteriorly and a myelencephalon posteriorly. This
    organization of brain regions is the same as that of the adult brain, but becomes more difficult to
    discern as differential growth of the regions, most notably of the telencephalon and metencephalon,
    obscure the embryonic layout.
