CHORDATE DEVELOPMENT, BIO 376 Lecture Text: Patten's Foundations of Embryology by Bruce M. Carlson Laboratory Text: A Guide to Vertebrate Development by Robert Rugh Students desiring to enroll in this course must have successfully completed BIO 201 and BIO 202, or receive special permission from the Chairperson. This course focuses on a study of the embryological development of chordate eggs. Topics include studies of biochemical, morphological and physiological events in differentiation and growth of cells, tissues and organ systems. Chordate evolution also is illustrated by such a comparative investigation. The lab will include detailed histological and morphological studies of the development of various chordate eggs, as well as exercises in experimental embryology of living eggs. Lecture Topics Embryology, its scope, history and special fields Gametogenesis and fertilization Cleavage and Formation of the blastula Gastrulation and establishment of the germ layers Neurulation, neural crest and somatic mesoderm Extraembryonic membranes and placenta Basic body plan of young mammals Cellular differentiation and the development of muscular and skeletal tissues The skin and its derivatives Limb development Development of the nervous system The sense organs Development of the face, oral region, digestive and respiratory systems, and the body cavities Ductless glands, pharyngeal derivatives and the lymphoid glands Development of the urogenital system Development of the circulatory system Laboratory Topics Spermatogenesis and oogenesis Fertilization and early development Amphioxus Early development of the fish Development of the frog from gonad maturation to 11 mm tadpole Development of the chick from gonad maturation to 9 day chick Development of the pig or mouse
