โœฆ Synopsis

Transmission electron microscopic observations of the relationships of the cells of the glycogen body and those of nervous tissue in the lumbosacral spinal cord show that one day after hatching, glycogen cells at the lateral margins of the glycogen body lie in close association with elements of the neuropil in the adjacent spinal cord. Glycogen cells and their processes appear to extend into the neuropil, where they contact other glycogen cells, blood vessels, neurons, and neuroglia. Junctional complexes and synapses occur among glycogen cells, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Other indications of specialized activities were surmised by the presence of annulate lamellae in continuity with extensive arrays of smooth endoplasmic reticulum in several glycogen cells. These observations enhance our earlier views that cells of the avian glycogen body are metabolically active in the synthesis and degradation of glycogen for neuronal support and myelination in the central nervous system.

The glycogen body is a functionally enigmatic structure located in lumbosacral region of the spinal cord in birds. This tissue is unique to birds, and, although it is believed to be present in all species, studies on the glycogen body to date have been confined largely to the domestic chicken. The p

## Abstract The ability of unsegmented paraxial mesoderm from Japanese quail embryos to form somites was studied by culturing pieces of embryos, containing the segmental plates, on an agar medium. In the first experiments, two explants were prepared from each donor embryo. Both explants contained a

## Abstract The development of quail embryos obtained after in vitro fertilization of oocytes ovulated in vitro was investigated. About 40% of the specimens, after 18โ€“20 hr of incubation, had undergone cleavage to reach stages IVโ€“VI when viewed under a stereo microscope. However, only 36% of these
