Ex Ovo Chick Embryo Culture Methods
Description
Chick embryo ex ovo culture keeps the embryo outside the eggshell for easier study and handling. The chicken embryo is a useful model for developmental biology because it develops outside the female and is easy to access for experiments. Scientists often study embryos inside the shell, or in ovo, but access can become harder...

Transcript
The chick is a versatile model organism for the study of developmental pathways because most of its development takes place outside of the mother. Nonetheless, the eggshell prevents access to the embryo for some forms of experimentation. Fortunately, chicks can be incubated outside of the shell, or “ex ovo,&rdq...
