Description
A set of 25 slides designed for vertebrate embryology with special emphasis on the chick. Pig slides are included for comparative study, while starfish slides offer a clear general picture of early holoblastic equal cleavage. Frog development slides show holoblastic unequal cleavage, formation of the blastula, gastrula, yolk plug, and neural plate through neural tube stages. The late neural tube stage gives students a clear picture of primary germ layers. Serial sections are boxed separately for easy identification.
