  2. Germ layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_layer

    A germ layer is a primary layer of cells that forms during embryonic development. [1] The three germ layers in vertebrates are particularly pronounced; however, all eumetazoans (animals that are sister taxa to the sponges) produce two or three primary germ layers. Some animals, like cnidarians, produce two germ layers (the ectoderm and endoderm ...

    As the syncytiotrophoblast starts to penetrate the uterine wall, the inner cell mass (embryoblast) also develops. The inner cell mass is the source of embryonic stem cells, which are pluripotent and can develop into any one of the three germ layer cells, and which have the potency to give rise to all the tissues and organs.

  5. Histogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogenesis

    The mesoderm germ layer forms in the embryos of animals and mammals more complex than cnidarians, making them triploblastic. During gastrulation, some of the cells migrating inward to form the endoderm form an additional layer between the endoderm and the ectoderm. A theory suggests that this key innovation evolved hundreds of millions of years ...

  6. Organogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organogenesis

    Organogenesis is the phase of embryonic development that starts at the end of gastrulation and continues until birth.During organogenesis, the three germ layers formed from gastrulation (the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm) form the internal organs of the organism.

  7. Germline development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germline_development

    These genes play a role in germ line development to localize nanos mRNA to the posterior and localize germ cell determinants. Drosophila progeny with mutations in these genes fail to produce pole cells and are thus sterile, giving these mutations the name 'grandchildless'. The genes oskar, nanos and germ cell-less (gcl) have important roles ...

  8. Bilaminar embryonic disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilaminar_embryonic_disc

    The definitive yolk sac contributes greatly to the embryo during the fourth week of development, and executes critical functions for the embryo. One of which being the formation of blood, or hematopoiesis. Also, primordial germ cells are first found in the wall of the yolk sac before primordial germ cell migration. After the fourth week of ...

  9. Ectoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectoderm

    The ectoderm is one of the three primary germ layers formed in early embryonic development. It is the outermost layer, and is superficial to the mesoderm (the middle layer) and endoderm (the innermost layer). [1] It emerges and originates from the outer layer of germ cells.
