Cell Movements in the Epiblast During Gastrulation and Neurulation in Avian Embryos

  • Chapter
Gastrulation

Part of the book series: Bodega Marine Laboratory Marine Science Series ((BMSS))

Abstract

In this essay, I will focus on both gastrulation and neurulation in avian embryos. The two processes are driven by similar cell behaviors: cell shape changes, cell division, and cell rearrangements. Since we have made considerable progress in understanding how these cell behaviors function in avian neurulation, perhaps more so than in gastrulation, I will draw heavily on this material.
