Ectoderm
the outermost germ layer in animals.
gives rise to the skin, nervous system, and sense organs. In the early embryo, it is the first layer to form from a fertilized egg.

Mesoderm
The notochord must arise from what germ layer?
Chordata
an embryonic midline structure common to all members of the phylum ________, providing both mechanical and signaling cues to the developing embryo
Notochord
an embryonic midline structure common to all members of the phylum Chordata, providing both mechanical and signaling cues to the developing embryo

what is 3?

skin
nervous system
What does the ectoderm form?
muscles
bones
notochord
what does the mesoderm form?
gut lining
internal organs
what does the endoderm form?
prechordal plate
chordamesoderm
Some mesodermal cells migrate forward toward the embryo’s midline. These cells become:
Prechordal plate
This mesodermal cell becomes the anterior organizer
Chordamesoderm
This mesodermal cell becomes the precursor of the notochord
Chordamesoderm
This extends forward from the primitive node (Hensen’s node in birds/mammals)
Intraembryonic mesoderm
What is 1?

Extraembryonic mesoderm
What is 2?

Endoderm
What is 3?

Notochord
What is 4?

Sonic hedgehog (Shh)
Notochord secretes factors like ____ to induce the neural plate and pattern the somites (future vertebrae, ribs, muscles)
Ectoderm
Mesoderm
Endoderm
Gastrulation forms these germ layers
Neural plate border
What is 1?

Neural plate
What is 2?

Epidermis
What is 3?

Convergence
What is 1?

Neural fold
What is 2?

Neural groove
What is 3?

Epidermis
What is 1?

Neural tube
What is 2?

Neural crest
What is 3?

Neural tube
the developing brain and spine
neural crest
is a transient, multipotent population of cells that arises during early vertebrate development
fourth germ layer
what is the neural crest often called?
Multipotent
Cell’s ability to develop into multiple—but limited—cell types within a specific lineage or tissue family. Neural crest cells are ________.
Totipotent
can form all cell types, including embryonic + extraembryonic
pluripotent
can form any body cell
multipotent
can form several related cell types
unipotent
can orm one type

sclerotome
dermatome
myotome
somites differentiate into:
sclerotome
somite that become vertebrae, ribs, skull base
dermatome
somite that turns into dermis of the back
myotome
somite that turns into skeletal muscles of the body wall and limbs
Somitomeres
Paraxial mesoderm derivative that forms the axial skeleton, true skeletal muscles, and dorsal dermis
somites
Are blocks of mesoderm that are located on either side of the neural tube in the developing vertebrate embryo.
Sclerotome
is derived from a ventromedial part of the somite and is formed by epithelial—mesenchymal transition
