Once definitive endoderm is established, inwardly most cranial portion of the definitive notochord has formed, moving epiblast forms mesoderm. whereas prenotochordal cells caudal to this region are intercalated into the endoderm as the notochordal plate. Note that some cells migrate ahead of the notochord. These  Epiblast gives rise to all 3 germ layers in the embryo, ectoderm, mesoderm cells form the prechordal plate that will assist in mesoderm, and endoderm (deepest). All these layers form all of forebrain induction. the tissues and organs during organogenesis  The Primary villi, small capillaries, villous capillaries and the connecting stalk (chorionic plate) supply the embryo with nutrients and oxygen Remember that the tropoblast will be the future placenta and this placenta will produce oxygen and nutrients to the embryo. In the cephalic direction, they pass on each side of the prechordal plate. Later, the prechordal píate will be important for induction of the forebrain B.Schematic cross section through the region of the notochordal plate. Soon, the notochordal plate will detach from II. FORMATION OF NOTOCHORD the endoderm to form the definitive notochord.  Prenotochordal cells invaginate in primitive node and the epiblast cells are invaginating moving lateral wise, they are at the cranial region, are your prechordal plate. As they continue to move lateral wise upon reaching the middle, they will form two layers. It will be the notochondral plate. As the two layers reach the central region, it will now becomes a single layer. It will form the notochord because the endoderm will now be detached. So it now only form a single layer and that will become the definitive chord, future neural tube and future axial skeleton - The notochord and prenotochordal cells extend cranially to C.Schematic view showing the definitive notochord. the prechordal plate (an area just caudal to the oropharyngeal membrane) and caudally to the primitive pit.

For example, the organ - Neurulation is the process whereby the neural píate forms that is supposedly on the right but is placed on the left and one the neural tube. that is placed on the left is placed on the right. - NEURAL CREST.

Growth and elongation of the cephalic part of the disc are caused by a continuous migration of cells from the primitive streak region in a cephalic direction. At that stage, the primitive streak shows regressive changes, rap- idly shrinks, and soon disappears. A. Dorsal view of a 16-day presomite embryo.

I.PERIOD OF ORGANOGENESIS  formation of tissues and organs  3 germs layers, ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm, gives rise to a number of specific tissues and organs  Ectoderm germ layer (everything that is in contact with the outside world) e.g. CNS, PNS, sensory epithelium of era, nose, eye, skin, hair, nails, pituitary, mammary, and sweat glands B.

The embryo is  Mesoderm germ layer (tissues that support the body) e.g pear-shaped, with its cephalic region somewhat broader than its somitomeres, myotome (muscle tissue), sclerotome (cartilage, caudal end. bone), dermatome (skin)  Endoderm germ layer (organs withing the body) e.g. GIT, RT, UB, thyroid, parathyroid, liver, pancreas, tympanic cavity, auditory tube  Induction of the neural plate caused by the upregulation of Fibroblast Growth factor (FGF), inhibition of the activities of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 (BMP4), Transforming growth factor B (TGF B)  Formation of neural tube from neural plate (NEURULATION) occurs by lengthening of neural plate (cranial to caudal) and body axis, lateral edges elevate to form NEURAL FOLDS and the depressed mid region form NEURAL GROOVE  Neural fold approach each other in midline where they fuse and form the cervical region that proceeds cranially and caudally.
