Examples of gastrula in the following topics:
-
- Gastrulation is a phase early in the embryonic development of most animals during which the single-layered blastula is reorganized into a trilaminar (three-layered) structure known as the gastrula.
-
- This early embryonic form undergoes gastrulation, forming a gastrula with either two or three layers (the germ layers).
- Cells migrating inward along the primitive gut form the inner layer of the gastrula, which develops into the endoderm.
-
- All bilaterian animals at an early stage of development form a gastrula, which is polarized, with one end called the animal pole and the other the vegetal pole.
- The gastrula has the shape of a disk with three layers of cells, an inner layer called the endoderm, which gives rise to the lining of most internal organs, a middle layer called the mesoderm, which gives rise to the bones and muscles, and an outer layer called the ectoderm, which gives rise to the skin and nervous system.
-
- This leads to the formation of the next developmental stage, the gastrula, in which the future digestive cavity is formed.
- During a process called gastrulation, the blastula folds inward to form a cavity in the gastrula.
