Q

yolk sac

A

formed by an extension of the hypoblast, holds insignificant amount of yolk but the digestive tube forms from part of it; tissue around the ylok sac gives rise to the earliest blood cells and blood vessels

Q

gastrulation

A

embryo grows from a two-layered disk to a three-layered disc during week 3; forms the three primary germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm), the layers from which all body tissues develop
