Study Notes
Gastrulation Overview
- Gastrulation is a critical developmental process involving germ layer formation through organized cell movements.
- It transforms a single-layered blastula into a trilaminar structure with three distinct germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
- Each germ layer is responsible for developing specific organs and tissues in the organism.
Germ Layers and their Functions
- Ectoderm: Forms the outer layer, contributing to the skin, nervous system, and sensory organs.
- Mesoderm: Develops into muscles, skeleton, and circulatory system, as well as other internal structures.
- Endoderm: Gives rise to the lining of the gastrointestinal tract and organs such as the liver and pancreas.
Variation Across Species
- The patterns and processes of gastrulation differ significantly in various animal species, reflecting evolutionary adaptations to their environments.
