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
