ANIMAL DEVELOPMENT
Although the bird’s egg is very large, the aerly embryo is very small; in fact,
the zygote is at first only a disklike germinal spot. Because a bird embryo rest on
the bulky and inactive yolk, cell divisions is limited to the tissue comprising the
germinal spot. Cleavage divides the germinal spot into a two layered embryo called
blastodisc. The blastocoel forms as cavity between the outer cell layer (the
ectoderm) and the lower cell layer (the endoderm). The blastopore, in the chicken
embryo called the primitive streak, does not develop as a crescent, but as a slit
along what will be the body axis. As a result, gastrulation in the birds is somewhat
different than in species with less yolk. The mesoderm is formed as cells from the
upper ectodermal layer roll along the midline of the embryo, forming a new layer
of cells within the former blastocoel.
After the spinal cord is formed, the developing head and tail areas grow so
rapidly that they overlap the tissue below. Each area is composed of an outer layer
of the ectoderm and an inner layer of endoderm. The two layers than form pockets,
one at the head and one at the tail end. These thinned area then rupture and form
the mouth and anus. The characteristic tube within the tube structure of vertebrates
is now complete.
In the meantime, the membrane called the yolk sac, which is composed of
endoderm and mesoderm, grows outward from the embryo over the yolk. Blood
vessels develop in the membrane and will soon be able to carry food from the yolk
to the embryo. Another membrane, called the allantois, begins to grow out of hind
area of the developing gut, forming a receptacle for nitrogenous wastes. The waste
lasen allantois will be left behind when the chick hatches.
The amnion fills with a slippery fluid that acts as a protective shock absorber
and as a lubricant preventing the appendages of the embryo from fusing to the
body. The mesoderm on the outside of the allantoic membrane later fuses with the
mesoderm on the inside of chorion, forming a three-layered chorioallantoic
membrane. This membrane will come to surround the albumen, the egg-white that
lies just under the porous shell. This membrane is then in a position to pick up
oxygen diffusing in through the porous shell and transpot it to the embryo. Carbon
dioxide from the respiring embryo can leave the egg through the same membrane.
As the embryo can leave the egg through the same membrane.
About this time, a large blood vassel underneath the embryo begins to twitch
irregulary and then to pulsate more and more rhythmically. Later, it will loop and
fuse its self, forming the heart. Tiny burges are now forming that will become the
limbs. The brain has continued its rapid growth and now outpockets on either side
to form the great orbs that will be the eyes. Meanwhile, the endoderm begins to
form pockets here and there that will become the highly complex glands and
organs associated with digestion.
A crucial change occurs on the eleventh day. This is the time of rapid
transition, marked by a great eruption of enzymes. Many embryos whose systems
are not quite functioning properly die at this time. After this, if all goes well, the
various systems of the organism will coordinate their activities and begin to
function in even greater harmony.
After about three weeks, the chick will begin the first feeble pecks that will
eventually enable it to break free of its protective shell. When it finally emerges, it
will begin to react to strange and fascinating new experiences. Some respon will be
innate, others will develop as the result of experience. As it grows, it will
constantly adjust to the wonders of its world, adapting, changing, and learning.
Then someone will eat it.
