Study Notes
Phases of Embryonic Development
- Gastrulation is the phase where the single-layered blastula reorganizes into a tri-laminar structure called the gastrula.
- Organogenesis is the developmental phase in which internal organs form within the organism.
Cleavage Types
- Cleavage types, determined by yolk distribution, include:
- Holoblastic cleavage, occurring in eggs with minimal yolk.
- Meroblastic cleavage, taking place in eggs with a significant yolk content.
Germ Layers
- Gastrulation results in the formation of three primary germ layers:
- Ectoderm: Forms the outer layer, giving rise to skin and nervous system.
- Mesoderm: Develops into muscles, bones, and the circulatory system.
- Endoderm: Creates the inner lining of the digestive and respiratory tracts.
Neural Development
- Neurulation is the process of forming the neural tube, which eventually develops into the central nervous system.
Yolk Concentration
- The pole of the egg with the highest concentration of yolk is called the vegetal pole, which plays a crucial role in embryo development.
