I) EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT
(A) GASTRULATION & NOTOCHORD FORMATION (B) EMBRYONIC FOLDING
Recall: Gastrulation is the process wherein the three (1) Lateral Folding
germ layers and the axial orientation are established in
the embryo [Moore et al, 2016] Lateral folding produces right and left lateral folds which
o The bilaminar disc is transformed into a trilaminar disc fuse to form a cylindrical embryo
Can be visualized through a cross-section of the embryo
The primitive streak and primitive node develop, through o Better for visualizing the gut cavities and sections of
which epiblast cells migrate. the gut tube
The migration of epiblast cells through the primitive streak
forms three new layers:
o Endoderm – epiblast cells invade the hypoblast layer
o Mesoderm – epiblast cells form a new layer in
between the epiblast and hypoblast
o Ectoderm – epiblast cells differentiate into this
Epiblast cells also migrate through the primitive node,
extending cranially to form the notochord.
