What is the definition of experimental embryology?

Answer 1

i belive that an embryological relationship involves comparing the embryo with other animals that share the same habitat (i.e deserts, oceans, forests) to help taxonomists classify organisms

Answer 2

AnswerTechnically, embryology is the study of the development of embryos, the early forms of adult animals. There currently seems to be a movement to stop using the term in favor of the term developmental biology. (Personally, I prefer this term because it is both descriptive and all-encompassing -- it would even be useful to talk about the developmental Biology of plants.)

Developmental biology (and therefore embryology) mostly concerns itself with the study of organ and organ system development. Early studies of developmental biology were chiefly guided by gross anatomical observations of embryo development. For example, the heart was dissected at various levels of development and studied to see where and when certain structures appear and how they relate to the definitive adult heart. The same was done with the nervous system, gastrointestinal system, endocrine system, head and neck, genitourinary system, and other organs and organ systems.

New developments in cell and molecular biology have been exploited in developmental biology. Modern approaches often focus on the molecular signals that are switched on and off during development to control the formation of a particular organ.

Developmental biology studies a range of animals, from humans and other mammals to chickens and fruit flies. Interestingly, much of what is known about human development was first demonstrated in chicks and fruit flies.

Answer 3

In a nutshell, experimental embryology deals with experimenting with the formation, early growth, and development of living organisms, specifically in their embryonic form. Experimental embryology is that branch of embryology that studies developmental changes of the embryo, and the nature of these changes. For a more comprehensive definition, see the related link.

Answer 4

Experimental embryology is the study of the development of embryos through experimentation, typically in non-human organisms. This field aims to understand the processes involved in embryonic development, such as cell differentiation, growth, and morphogenesis, by manipulating embryos in controlled laboratory settings. It has provided valuable insights into fundamental biological processes and has led to advancements in various fields, including developmental biology and regenerative medicine.
