Dermal Glands

  • Chapter
Biology of the Integument

Abstract

Two types of dermal glands originate in the body and base of the limbs in Xenopus laevis, from NF stage 57. The granular glands are more numerous and better developed on the back; only mucous glands occur on the upper jaw (Nieuwkoop and Faber 1956). Mature granular glands are formed after the fore-limbs have emerged (Vanable 1964).
