Experiments suggest that developmental neurogenesis is controlled along the anterior-posterior axis.

Species of Opisthoteuthis are the most compressed, in the anterior-posterior axis, of any cephalopod.

The guidance of cells and axons along the anterior-posterior axis of C. elegans is not as well understood.

Sustain expression of the molecules that establish the anterior-posterior axis.

Within the limb bud, expression also varies as a function of the position along the anterior-posterior axis.

Meridian: In vision, a plane containing the anterior-posterior axis of the eye.

Neural crest cells originating from different positions along the anterior-posterior axis develop into various tissues.

The mother fly produces oocytes that already have anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral axes defined by maternal activities.

At this time, segments of the embryo become visible, creating a striped arrangement along the anterior-posterior axis.

These genes establish the segmented body plan of the embryo along the anterior-posterior axis.
