Gastrulation and the Three Germ Layers

Video not yet published
to the StudyWalks catalog
State

Gastrulation reorganizes the blastula into three germ layers — ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm — each committed to a distinct set of tissues and organs later.

Show

Ectoderm gives rise to skin and nervous tissue; mesoderm to muscle; endoderm to the digestive lining.

Watch for

Germ-layer commitment sets a trajectory, not an irreversible fate for every cell within that layer.
