| dc.description.abstract | Finding the most suitable and non-invasive way for recording the chick embryo's heart rate is the principal objective of this research. The primary rationale for this project is to develop an animal model for evaluating the effects of physical or chemical agents on normal fetal development, to hopefully reveal potential causes of spontaneous abortion and genetic disorders.
The heart rate of the chick embryo has been recorded in the past using various techniques - microelectrodes, chemical compounds, ultrasound and others. In this research, a determination of the chick embryo's heart rate was performed using a light-reflective system. This technique was developed to minimize the effects of environmental influences on the embryo's heart rate. A stable model is essential if this model is to be used to assess the influence of different factors on the development of the embryo's heart. | en |
