Talk:Archenteron

This page confuses blastopore with archenteron. Somebody needs to revise.

Edited: Archenteron != Blastopore
Yes, that was pretty shameful. Fixed. Tamarkot 19:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

The Archenteron does not develope into the reproductive organs. It developes into the digestive tract. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.201.173.180 (talk) 00:50, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

I am considering developing this page further as part of an educational assignment in Fall of 2013. If someone else is also working on this, please send me a message and let me know soon, so we donʼt duplicate initial efforts in page development. Choidah (talk) 22:53, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

This article is a good article to get a very short idea of what archenteron is however there is not much detail that could be gained from reading this article. On Developmental Biology textbook there is a much more detailed description of archenteron. It explains the different stages of archenteron invagination in greater detail. The information already found in this article may be a summary of the page cited but much more information can be found in the text. There are many more figures that explain the interaction of archenteron. Also from the same text in chapter 10 there is more details about archenteron in amphibian. It states that removal deep involuting marginal zone (IMZ) cells would stop archenteron formation. It is important to focus on animals other than sea urchins to discuss archenteron since it is expressed in most eukaryotes. The full citation for the text is Gilbert SF.
