[Formation and cellular structure of the lines of tension in the axial rudimenta of amphibian embryos].
The lines of mechanical tension (cross-lines) in axial rudiments of the amphibian embryo represent bands of polarized cells. They form in the inner layers of the rudiments as separate bundles of polarized cell which, then, merge, attain the external surface and gather in lengthy planes (cross-planes) and, later, degrade. The primary inductor induces the formation of cross-lines in the ventral ectoderm of the early gastrula. The growth of cross-lines in considered as one of the types of contact cells polarization. The morphogenetic role of contact polarization is discussed. The connection between the subsequent tension patterns is based on the fact that the lines of exit of the cross-planes on the surface of the embryo coincide with the direction of the previously established tensions.
