To understand cleavage, we need additional vocabulary:
•Vegetal pole – the yolk rich region•Animal pole – the yolk devoid region•Isolecithal – roughly equal distribution of yolk (such as in sea urchins)•Holoblastic cleavage – complete cleavage•Meroblastic cleavage – partial cleavage where only some of the cytoplasm is cleaved (insects, fish, reptiles, birds)•Centrolecithal – centrally placed yolk (insects)•Telolecithal – only one area is free of yolk (birds and fish)•Discoidal cleavage – cleavage in the telolecithal eggs that occurs only in the small disk of cytoplasm•Holoblastic cleavage subtypes:
• Radial• Spiral• Bilateral• Rotational

Summary of the main patterns of cleavage
We will focus on each type of cleavage in greater detail AGAIN in the next few slides.

The change in shape of the organism grows much more complicated as you move from the blastula stage to the gastrula stage.
![Page 10: A Continuation of A First Look at Early Development: More On Rapid Specification in Snails and Nematodes Lange BIOL 370 – Developmental Biology Topic #7.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649de45503460f94adb676/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Types of cell movements during gastrulation
In this slide, we are seeing how during gastrulation, there is a noticeable shift in terms of cell movement. Notice the five types shown:•Invagination•Involution•Ingression•Delamination•Epiboly
![Page 11: A Continuation of A First Look at Early Development: More On Rapid Specification in Snails and Nematodes Lange BIOL 370 – Developmental Biology Topic #7.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649de45503460f94adb676/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Axes of a bilaterally symmetrical animal
With this increasing complexity of the whole organism do the in-folding that occurs, the 3 dimensional shape of the organisms will no longer be symmetrical every plane.
![Page 12: A Continuation of A First Look at Early Development: More On Rapid Specification in Snails and Nematodes Lange BIOL 370 – Developmental Biology Topic #7.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649de45503460f94adb676/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Figure 5.6 Cleavage in the sea urchin
• holoblastic cleavage (complete cleavage)• 1st & 2nd cleaveges are meridional ("along a meridian" or "in the north–south
direction“)• 3rd cleavage is equitaorial• 4th cleavage is more specialized… the animal poles divide meridionally into
mesomeres, the vegetal poles divides both equatorially but also unequally (larger cells called macromeres and the smaller called micromeres)
![Page 13: A Continuation of A First Look at Early Development: More On Rapid Specification in Snails and Nematodes Lange BIOL 370 – Developmental Biology Topic #7.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649de45503460f94adb676/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cleavage in the sea urchin (Part 1)
5th (16 cell stage) cleavage:•mesomeres (animal) equitorially to produce an1 and an2•macromeres divide meridionally•micromeres divide unequally producing four small mircomeres and four large micromeres
6th division animal hemisphere cells divide meridionally and vegetal cells divide equatorially.
7th division the vegetal cells divide meriodionally and the animal cells divide equatorially.
The embryo is now at 120 cells and is called a blastula.

Ability of micromeres to induce presumptive ectodermal cells to acquire other fates
In this series we can see how even in the dissected embryo missing its vegetal portion, the micromeres can guide and direct differentiation into a larva.
What does this suggest as the role for micomeres?
![Page 18: A Continuation of A First Look at Early Development: More On Rapid Specification in Snails and Nematodes Lange BIOL 370 – Developmental Biology Topic #7.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649de45503460f94adb676/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Normal sea urchin development, following the fate of the cellular layers of the blastula
The blastula continues development into a gastrula:
•late stage blastula will contain roughly 1,000 cells•shape is in the form of a hollow ball•the blastomeric cells are of different shapes, sizes, and properties
![Page 19: A Continuation of A First Look at Early Development: More On Rapid Specification in Snails and Nematodes Lange BIOL 370 – Developmental Biology Topic #7.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649de45503460f94adb676/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Gastrulation is a phase early in the embryonic development of most animals, during which the single-layered blastula is reorganized into a trilaminar ("three-layered") structure known as the gastrula. These three germ layers are known as the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
Gastrulation is followed by organogenesis, when individual organs develop within the newly formed germ layers. Each layer gives rise to specific tissues and organs in the developing embryo.
![Page 20: A Continuation of A First Look at Early Development: More On Rapid Specification in Snails and Nematodes Lange BIOL 370 – Developmental Biology Topic #7.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649de45503460f94adb676/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

The ectoderm gives rise to epidermis and also tissues that will later form the nervous system.
The mesoderm is found between (meso = middle) the ectoderm and the endoderm and gives rise to the muscular system, cartilages, the dermis, the notochord, blood and blood vessels, bone, and connective tissue.
The endoderm gives rise to the epithelium of the digestive system and respiratory system, and organs associated with the digestive system, such as the liver and pancreas.

Invagination of the vegetal plate
The archenteron is the primitive gut that forms during gastrulation. It develops into the digestive tract of an animal.

The imaginal rudiment growing in the left side of the pluteus larva of a sea urchin
The imaginal rudiment is the precursor tissue for the developing skeletal structure of the urchin.

A related line to the skeletal development seen in the previous slides about the urchin, is the shell development seen in a variety of snails. These molluscs that develop conchae (spiral shaped shells), can develop often develop either a right handed spiral or a left handed spiral.

The glochidium is a microscopic larval stage seen in some freshwater mussels, aquatic bivalve mollusks, and European freshwater pearl mussels.
This larval form has hooks, which enable it to attach itself to fish (for example to the gills of a fish host species) for a period of time prior to when it detaches and falls to the substrate and takes on the typical form of a juvenile mussel.
Ecologically, since fish are active and free-swimming, this process helps distribute the mussel species to potential areas of habitat that it could not reach via its own locomotion.

Phony fish atop the unionid clam Lampsilis altilis
This fake “fish” is actually a brood pouch holding glochidium in this species of clam. It attracts predatory fish and allows the glochidium easy
access to these fish.

The two-step process for specifying the marginal cells of the tunicate embryo
Macho-1 = the gene/RNA materialFGF = fibroblast growth factor
A fibroblast is a type of cell that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen, the structural framework for animal tissues, and plays a critical role in wound healing. Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in animals.

Caenorhabditis elegans is a free-living, transparent nematode (roundworm), about 1 mm in length, which lives in temperate soil environments. Research into the molecular and developmental biology of C. elegans was begun in 1974 by Sydney Brenner (Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2002) and it has since been used extensively as a model organism.
![Page 37: A Continuation of A First Look at Early Development: More On Rapid Specification in Snails and Nematodes Lange BIOL 370 – Developmental Biology Topic #7.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649de45503460f94adb676/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (Part 1)
In A, we see the hermaphroditic formIn B, we see how the eggs are forced to pass through sperm cells as they mature, which in effect forces fertilization to occurNote that earlier meiotic divisions actually involve sperm production and the spermatheca is only for STORAGE.

PAR proteins and the establishment of polarity
Polarity – the beginning of orientation of cell lineages in an organism. In C. elegans, this is guided by PAR proteins.

Deficiencies of intestine and pharynx in skn-1 mutants of C. elegans
In the images below, we see the effects of the SKN-1 mutation in C. Elegans. This mutation affects most notably the development of musculature of the pharynx and intestine. Therefore, this mutation drastically alters the development of the digestive system in this species.
