Week 3: gastrulation:Primitive streak and node

Ingression of epiblast cells: EMT transitionGeneration of endodermGeneration of mesodermGeneration of ectoderm

Oropharyngeal and cloacal membrane

Week 3: Gastrulation

Epiblast forms 3 germ layers:- Ectoderm: epithelium (previous epiblast)- Mesoderm: mesenchymal layer (embryonic connective tissue)- Endoderm: epithelium

Hypoblast:- replaced by definitive endoderm

3 body axes:- Anteroposterior or cranial to caudal body axis- Dorsoventral body axis- Left-Right body axis

3 weeks

37 weeks

Embryonic development:

End product gastrulation:Trilaminar embryo

Ectoderm (Neural crest)brain, spinal cord, eyes, peripheral nervous system

epidermis of skin and associated structures, melanocytes, cranial connective tissues (dermis)

Mesodermmusculo-skeletal system, limbs,

connective tissue of skin and organs,urogenital system, heart, blood cells

Endodermepithelial linings of gastrointestinal, liver, pancreas,

thyroid and respiratory tracts

Embryo foldingGeneration of primitive gut

Neural plate and neural tube
