Pig D3L


DEVELOPMENT OF RESPIRATORY SYSTEM & GIT1

D3: Rotation of stomach (seen from above) to R side. Note change in outline of coelomic canals due to presence of liver. Lesser sac. Note thick mesothelium lining the coelom along Ledge of stomach, the primordium of the spleen and greater omentum along greater curvature. Liver embedded in septum transversum (ventral border of septum transversum contributes to diaphragm).

DEVELOPMENT OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

D3: Spinal cord has enlarged ventral horns (motor neurons).

DEVELOPMENT OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM

Dl-D3: Dermatome, myotome, sclerotome. Dorsal root ganglia. Notochord. Note the dorsal segmental branches of the dorsal aortae and the inferior cardinal veins. In the walls of the neural tube, note the alar and basal laminae of cells, sulcus limitans.
