INTRODUCTION TO YERTEBRATE EMBRYOLOGY A TEXTBOOK FOR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. BY WALDO SHUMWAY, PH. D. Professor of Zoology, University of Illinois THIRD EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED WITH 525 DRAWINGS COMBINED IN 240 FIGURES NEW YORK JOHN WILEY SONS, INC. LONDON CHAPMAN HALL, LIMITED 1935 COPYTIIOTIT, 1927, 193O, 19.35, BY WALDO SIIUMWAY All Rights Reserved This book or any part thereof must not be reproduced in any form ivithoiit the written permission of the publisher. Printed in U. S. A. Printing Composition and Plates Binding F. H. GILSON CO. TECHNICAL COMPOSITION CO. STANHOPE BINDERY BOSTON CAMBRIDGE BOSTON To E. S. S. AND F, S. S. PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION In preparing this new edition, I have taken the opportunity to recast and rewrite the first half of the text, incorporating such new material, especially in experimental vertebrate embryology, as I have found helpful in my own teaching, correcting errors which had persisted through earlier editions, and particularly re vising the terminology to bring it into line with current American usage. In recent years I have found that a brief preview of the life histories of the vertebrate types makes an admirable introduction to the study of comparative embryology, familiarizing the stu dents with the essential vocabulary and supplying them with a framework for the more detailed study of development which follows. Such a preview is included as Chapter II. The illus trations of this chapter are not labeled in detail as many of them will be found again with full labeling in later chapters. Since many of the newer textbooks of general zoology give excellent brief accounts of cytology and genetics, the section of this book devoted to these subjects now forms a separate chapter IV which may be omitted at the teachers discretion. It has been completely rewritten, in which task I have been greatly assisted by the publication of Sharps Cytology, third edition. It is impossible, in a text designed for the college rather than the medical school, to ignore the new advances in experimental embryology, especially those directly concerned with vertebrate development. From the wealth of material now available in works of reference see page 177 I have selected such topics as seemed to have a definite pedagogical value in my own experience. It is hardly to be expected that this selection will meet the needs of all teachers, but it is hoped that it will supply at least a point of departure. With this in mind the material has been segregated into a single chapter VII and the reference list made a little more extensive than those in other sections of the book. Embryology and Genetics by Morgan, and The Ele ments of Experimental Embryology by Huxley and de Beer VI PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION have been of material assistance in the organization of this chapter. Earlier editions employed, to a degree which I now recognize was extreme for undergraduates, embryological terms current in European texts and manuals for advanced students. This made it difficult for the student to carry on collateral reading in other texts. In this revision the number of technical terms employed has been reduced until there are only 220 which are not encoun tered also in such recent texts as Curtis and Outlines General Zoology, second edition, and Adams 7 Introduction to the Vertebrates, representing material provided in courses pre requisite to embryology. A glossary, including cross references to common synonyms, has been added. Freed from the neces sity of acquiring a large new vocabulary, the student, it is hoped, will progress more rapidly to a better understanding of the dynamic aspects of development. The expansion of the text indicated above has made it im possible to extend the treatment of organogeny to an equal degree, and I have been forced to content myself with a general revision of this section and the substitution of new figures wherever better material has been available than heretofore.

Product Description

This volume describes a comprehensive but simple technique for determination of the intestinal absorptive surface area in mammals of different sizes (from harvest mouse to horse). It is a treatise of research carried out by the author over 25 years in a much neglected area: morphology and morphometry of the large intestine – specifically the caecum of mammals. Over 20 species are considered, at the macroscopic and microscopic levels.

Product Description

This study results in a timetable of the development of the supra-spinal descending projections, which will serve as a reference table for all studies that describe other parameters of development in the spinal cord and brain-stem (enzyme-histochemistry, immunocytochemistry, neurophysiology, etc.). The present study provides essential data on the physical development of the descending projections to the spinal cord for those investigators who study the development of functional parameters (neurochemical, electrophysiological, etc.) in these projections.

Product Description

This volume is a valuable contribution to the influence of a teratological agent on early avian development, especially the chondrocranium. Cranial abnormalities developing from the experimental application of ethyl alcohol on genetically and nutritionally uniform chick embryos are described in detail and compared to the normal stages of development. A full discussion and evaluation are provided regarding the gross abnormalities and malformations observed in microscopical and histological investigations. The value of avian material for the experimental application of teratogenic material is demonstrated.
