  2. Mesoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoderm

    The mesoderm is the middle layer of the three germ layers that develops during gastrulation in the very early development of the embryo of most animals. The outer layer is the ectoderm, and the inner layer is the endoderm. [1] [2] The mesoderm forms mesenchyme, mesothelium and coelomocytes. Mesothelium lines coeloms.

  3. Enterocoely - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterocoely

    Enterocoelom (adjective forms: enterocoelic and enterocoelous) describes both the process by which some animal embryos develop and the origin of the cells involved. In enterocoely, a mesoderm (middle layer) is formed in a developing embryo, in which the coelom appears from pouches growing and separating from the digestive tract (also known as the embryonic gut, or archenteron). [1]

  4. Organogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organogenesis

    Mesoderm cells condense to form a rod which will send out signals to redirect the ectoderm cells above. This fold along the neural tube sets up the vertebrate central nervous system. The endoderm is the inner most germ layer of the embryo which gives rise to gastrointestinal and respiratory organs by forming epithelial linings and organs such ...

  5. Germ layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_layer

    The mesoderm germ layer forms in the embryos of triploblastic animals. During gastrulation, some of the cells migrating inward contribute to the mesoderm, an additional layer between the endoderm and the ectoderm. [9] The formation of a mesoderm leads to the development of a coelom. Organs formed inside a coelom can freely move, grow, and ...

  6. Epiblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiblast

    It drives the embryo proper through its differentiation into the three primary germ layers, ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm, during gastrulation. The amniotic ectoderm and extraembryonic mesoderm also originate from the epiblast. The other layer of the inner cell mass, the hypoblast, gives rise to the yolk sac, which in turn gives rise to the ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Endoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoderm

    Endoderm is the innermost of the three primary germ layers in the very early embryo.The other two layers are the ectoderm (outside layer) and mesoderm (middle layer). [1] Cells migrating inward along the archenteron form the inner layer of the gastrula, which develops into the endoderm.

  9. Notochord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notochord

    Red: notochord; Magenta: axochord; Green: nerve chord; Blue: epidermis; Yellow: mesoderm. The notochord is an elastic, rod-like structure found in chordates . In chordate vertebrates the notochord is an embryonic structure that disintegrates, as the vertebrae develop, to become the nucleus pulposus in the intervertebral discs of the vertebral ...
