Figure 4: Culture 2; Skin originally from 8 day chicks at day 8 in culture (day 16 for the chick) showing long buds. Skin cultured in Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution 1X, on Transwell 3452 culture inserts (24mm diameter), placed in 5% CO2 incubator at 37¾C. (A) Here we can clearly determine the anterior posterior axis due to the direction the feather buds are leaning. Note also the obvious pterylae running perpendicular to the A-P axis. (B) Line drawing diagram of A, further detailing pterylae.
