| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to understand acquisition mechanism of the diaphragm by comparing mouse and chicken. First, I observed the migration pathway of somite derived cells in mouse and chicken embryo and found similar migration pathway in both species. However, differentiation to myoblast was observed only by the mouse embryo. As a result suggest the possibility that the mammalian originally acquired the differentiation mechanism of the myoblast from somite cell in the process of evolution.
