Intraendodermal and intramesenteric migration of anuran amphibian germ cells: transmission and scanning electron microscopy. 1982

M Delbos, and J D Gipouloux, and S Guennoun

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) from the dorsal side of midgut endoderm and from within the dorsal mesentery were examined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. During migration of these cells, lamellipodia and filopodia, develop in a polarized pattern. Large amounts of extracellular material accumulate around the lamellipodia at the leading end of a migrating cell. It is suggested that the polarized pseudopodia function in conjunction with extracellular matrix as the means by which PGCs move en route to gonadal ridges.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008643 Mesentery A layer of the peritoneum which attaches the abdominal viscera to the ABDOMINAL WALL and conveys their blood vessels and nerves. Mesenteries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
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.

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.
