Popis: | The migration of inner marginal cells was studied in the Ambystoma gastrula, using scanning electron micrography and time-lapse cinemicrography. Scanning electron micrographs of gastrulae which were fixed while intact revealed that the migrating cells have flattened lamellipodia at their anterior end and a rounded cell body, which can sometimes be seen to be attached to a neighbouring cell by a slender posterior process. Films of opened gastrulae showed actively moving cells, with the same features described above. Details of their movements are reported and discussed in relation to the mechanism of gastrulation. |
