Study Notes
Germ Layer Derivation
- The epiblast gives rise to all three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
- Cells migrating through the primitive streak displace the hypoblast, forming the endoderm.
- Other epiblast cells migrate between the endoderm and epiblast to form the mesoderm.
- The remaining epiblast cells become the ectoderm.
Ectoderm Derivatives
- The ectoderm differentiates into neuroectoderm and dermoectoderm.
- Neuroectoderm forms the neural tube and neural crest.
- Dermoectoderm develops into the skin's epidermis.
- The neural tube creates the brain and spinal cord.
- Neural crest cells produce the suprarenal medulla, nerve ganglia, and pigment cells.
Mesoderm Derivatives
- Mesoderm forms three columns: paraxial, intermediate, and lateral plate.
- Paraxial mesoderm segments into somites.
