What is Embryonic development of Python sebae – II: Craniofacial microscopic anatomy, cell proliferation and apoptosis about?
This study explores the microscopic craniofacial morphogenesis of the oviparous African rock python (Python sebae) spanning the first two-thirds of the post-oviposition period. At the time of laying, the python embryo consists of largely undifferentiated mesenchyme and epithelium with the exception of the cranial base and trabeculae cranii, which are undergoing chondrogenesis. The facial prominences are well defined and are at a late stage, close to the time when lip fusion begins. Later (11-12d), specializations in the epithelia begin to differentiate (vomeronasal and olfactory epithelia, teeth). Dental development in snakes is different from that of mammals in several aspects including an extended dental lamina with the capacity to form 4 sets of generational teeth. In addition, the ophidian olfactory system is very different from the mammalian. There is a large vomeronasal organ, a nasal cavity proper and an extraconchal space. All of these areas are lined with a greatly expanded olfactory epithelium. Intramembranous bone differentiation is taking place at stage 3 with some bones already ossifying whereas most are only represented as mesenchymal condensations. In addition to rou
