Blastula


ectoderm - light blue


ectoderm (nervous tissue) - dark blue


mesoderm - red


mesoderm (notochord) - green


endoderm - yellow

Blastula cross-section


-Cleavage has created a blastula with a blastocoel (white space inside). Notice the external surface of the model, which illustrates the animal (less yolk) and vegetal poles (more yolk).

Early gastrulation


-The movement of cells to produce the three primary germ layers has begun. The green end of mesoderm represents the dorsal lip of the blastopore

Gastrulation


-The invagination formed by cells moving inward is the primitive gut, or archenteron.

Gastrulation


-The archenteron expands.

Gastrulation


-The blastocoel (white) is pushed aside by the expansion of the archenteron and eventually disappears. Notice that the archenteron is lined with endoderm.

Complete gastrulation


-Not the blastopore plug formed at the beginning of the archenteron. All three primitive germ layers are now established, and the green mesoderm is differentiating into the notochord.

Early neurulation


-Note the green notochord, formed from the mesoderm. The ectoderm above the notochord is beginning to differentiate into the neural tube, due to the induction from the notochord.

Neurulation (longitudinal section)


-The head region is on the left, the tail is on the right. Not the fully closed neural tube. The gut is ready to open into the mount and anus (formerly the blastopore).

Completed neurulation/Neural crest migration


-Notice the open gut with the anus. The red mesoderm layer will differentiate into muscles, heart and other tissues. The notochord will eventually be replaced by bone, while the nerves near the head will form the brain.

What is morphogenesis?
Establishment of characteristic forms from individual tissue types.
What are the five stages of embryogenesis?
Blastulation, gastrulation, neuralation, neural crest formation, organogenesis.
What happens in blastulation?
Blastulation is the final result of cleavage, and usually consists of a ball of hundreds of cells surrounding a fluid-filled cavity.
What is gastrulation?
Gastrulation is the movement of some of the cells into the cavity to set up three layers of cells (the germ layers), which later gave rise to the specific tissue types.
What is neuralation?
After the germ layers are established, the ectoderm (on top) rolls into the neural tube. This is essential to forming the characteristic chordate dorsal, hollow nerve cord.
What happens in neural crest formation and migration stage?
The neural crest forms along the neural tube, and blocks of cells migrate from the crest. These somites signal the nearby cells to begin developing into other parts of the body.
What happens in organogenesis?

Organs of the body become established, after being directed by the action of the somites and other surrounding cells.
