The neural crest in presomite to 40-somite murine embryos. 1985

The production of cells by the neural crest is studied light-microscopically in 10 microns and 1 micron serially sectioned mouse and rat embryos, ranging in age from presomite to 40-somite stages. In the head region, mesectoderm formation starts in a pre-neural plate stage. It continues to the 20-somite stage. This implies that the contribution of the neural crest to the head mesoderm must be considerable. In the trunk, the neural crest only produces cells after adhesion of the neural walls. Mesectoderm formation continues for a long time, slowly retreating in a caudal direction. At the 40-somite stage, mesectoderm formation still occurs in the most caudal part of the trunk. Compared to the head, the contribution of the neural crest in the trunk seems to be less important than that of the primitive streak.

D008648 Mesoderm The middle germ layer of an embryo derived from three paired mesenchymal aggregates along the neural tube.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D009432 Neural Crest The two longitudinal ridges along the PRIMITIVE STREAK appearing near the end of GASTRULATION during development of nervous system (NEURULATION). The ridges are formed by folding of NEURAL PLATE. Between the ridges is a neural groove which deepens as the fold become elevated. When the folds meet at midline, the groove becomes a closed tube, the NEURAL TUBE.

D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
