Study Notes
- The mesoderm is a layer of cells that partly fills the space between the endoderm and ectoderm, contributing to the development of muscles and the reproductive system.
- During the third week of development, a thickened linear band of epiblast on the dorsal caudal aspect of the embryonic disc forms, leading to the development of the primitive node, primitive pit, and primitive groove.
- The process of forming mesoderm through the primitive streak slows down after the second week and degenerates in the sacrococcygeal region of the embryo.
- The oropharyngeal membrane and cloacal membrane are two faint depressions that appear in the ectoderm during the third week.
- The notochordal process elongates by invagination of cells from the primitive pit, forming a notochordal canal and a notochord.
- The notochord is a key structure that acts as a rigid axis around which the embryo develops, serving as a foundation for the vertebral column and inducing the formation of the neural tube (future nervous system).
- During development, cells undergo various movements and rearrangements, including ingression (cells breaking away as individuals), delamination (layers separating as sheets), and intercalation (layers connecting with each other).
- Gastrulation begins when cells of the epiblast migrate to the median plane of the dorsum of the embryonic disc, with the primitive streak defining the body axis (rostrocaudal and left-right) and leading to the formation of the notochord.
