  2. 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 ...

  3. Organogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organogenesis

    The endoderm of vertebrates produces tissue within the lungs, thyroid, and pancreas. The mesoderm aids in the production of cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, tissues within the kidneys, and red blood cells. The ectoderm produces tissues within the epidermis and aids in the formation of neurons within the brain, and melanocytes.

  4. List of human cell types derived from the germ layers

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_cell_types...

    This is a list of cells in humans derived from the three embryonic germ layers – ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Cells derived from ectoderm. Surface ectoderm

  5. Gastrulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrulation

    These three germ layers are the ectoderm (outer layer), mesoderm (middle layer), and endoderm (inner layer). [3] [4] In diploblastic organisms, such as Cnidaria and Ctenophora, the gastrula has only ectoderm and endoderm. The two layers are also sometimes referred to as the hypoblast and epiblast. [5]

  6. Human embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_embryonic_development

    The epiblast keeps moving and forms a second layer, the mesoderm. The epiblast has now differentiated into the three germ layers of the embryo, so that the bilaminar disc is now a trilaminar disc, the gastrula. The three germ layers are the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm, and are formed as three

  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 .

  8. Animal embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_embryonic_development

    Here the mesoderm extends forward in the form of two crescentic masses, which meet in the middle line so as to enclose behind them an area that is devoid of mesoderm. Over this area, the ectoderm and endoderm come into direct contact with each other and constitute a thin membrane, the buccopharyngeal membrane, which forms a septum between the ...

  9. Ectoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectoderm

    The position of the ectoderm relative to the other germ layers of the embryo is governed by "selective affinity", meaning that the inner surface of the ectoderm has a strong (positive) affinity for the mesoderm, and a weak (negative) affinity for the endoderm layer. [6] This selective affinity changes during different stages of development.
