We have tried to establish average or standard types by comparing a considerable number of embryos in each stage, and we have selected for illustrations those embryos which appeared typical.

this is a division of a somite that is a plate of darkly stained cells lying just beneath the skin ectoderm and is the source of some of the dermis: myotome

48 HOUR CHICK EMBRYO SERIAL CROSS SECTION SERIES
A series of normal stages in the development of the chick embryo. This historic 1910 paper by Williams describes chicken somitogenesis. The stages may be subdivided with a + or - to indicate individual somites 8- equals three somites and 8+ equals 5 somites Stage 7 is one somite, stage 8 is four somites, and so on. Each stage in this group represents the formation of three somites.

Stages 7 through 14 are identified by the number of somites.The somites are the blocks of tissue on either side of the neural tube Two more accurate ways of describing the relative developmental age of a chick embryo are (1) the number of somites and (2) comparison to a staging series, such as the one devised by Hamburger and Hamilton (H&H hamburger.pdf).Embryology in chicken 48 hours after fertilization: stained whole-mount preparation 1 Amnion, 2 Metencephalon, 3 Mesencephalon, 4 Optic cup + lens, 5 Prosencephalon, 6 Otic vesicle, 7 Branchial arches, 8 Atrium, 9 Ventricle, 10 Lateral fold, 11 Lateral mesoderm, 12 Vitelline arteria / vein, 13 Somite, 14 Spine, 15 Tail fol.Home Number of somites in 48 hour chick embryo Embryology of chicken: 48-55 hr
