Introduction

Stage 7 embryos are in the presomite period with a well-defined embryonic disc. They have an estimated postfertilization age of approximately 18 to 21 days and a greatest length of 0.6 mm. The embryonic disc is symmetrical and slightly convex in the plane of its longitudinal axis. The gastrulation (primitive) node and notochordal process can be identified.
