Primitive folds (lateral elevations)
What are the 3 primary germ layers?
Ectoderm, Mesoderm, Endoderm
What happens to the remaining epiblasts of the primitive streak?
Give rise to ectoderm

Mesoderm
Which germ layer forms the epidermis of skin, epithelium of oral and nasal cavities, nervous system and sense organs?
Ectoderm
Which germ layer forms the muscles, connective tissues including bones and components of circulatory, urinary and genital systems?
Mesoderm
Which germ layer forms the mucosal epithelium and glands of respiratory and digestive systems?
Endoderm
When does the primitive streak in avian embryo reach its maximum length?
18 hours of incubation
Continuous migration of epiblast from the primitive streak and non-addition of new epiblasts to the primitive streaks results to ________
regression of primitive streak
Primitive streak of avian embryo disappears by _________ of incubation

True or false in most primitive vertebrates the notochord is the chief axial supporting structure of the body.
True
True or false the formation of notochord induces the formation of the head, nervous system and somite.
True
True or false the formation of notochord does not indicate the future location of vertebral column in higher vertebrates.
False
What is the ultimate fate of the notochord?
Nucleus pulposus of intervertebral disc.
What is the Morphogenic process that gives rise to the 3 primary germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm?
Gastrulation
What is the stage of early embryonic development characterized by early development of CNS, formation of the head process and foregut, formation of somites and formation of cardiac tube?
Neurulation
