Study Notes
Notochord Development
- The initial location of the notochord in the developing embryo is between the ectoderm and the endoderm, in the dorsal region.
Notochord Function
- The notochord provides a flexible, rod-like structure that gives support and shape to the embryo.
- It also serves as an organizing center, inducing the formation of surrounding tissues.
Notochord Migration
- After detachment from the underlying endoderm, the notochord comes to lie between the neural tube and the dorsal mesoderm.
Notochord Origin and Formation
- The notochord originates from the dorsal, median region of the embryo.
- The notochord is formed from the mesodermal germ layer, specifically from the chordamesoderm.
