26. Cleavage of Microlecithal Eggs This picture is of the unfertilized egg. It can be differentiated from the zygote by the presence of a large, conspicuous nucleus (large arrow) with obvious nucleolus (smaller arrow) and by the lack of a fertilization membrane. Next…..
27. This shows the zygote (fertilized cell). It is recognized by the presence of the fertilization membrane (arrows) surrounding it and the peripheral, fluid-filled perivitelline space. Next….
30. Cleavage of Megalecithal Eggs From this enlarged cross-sectional view of the chick blastula, some important anatomical details are visible and labelled: Ao = Area opaca Ap = Area pellucida 1 = Blastocoel 2 = Subgerminal spa

32. All blastulas have two main components--the blastoderm and blastocoel . The blastoderm is the sheet of cells on the outside of the blastula. The blastocoel is the cavity on the inside.
