28
Q

In sea urchins: Mesodermal mesenchymal cells

A

migrate from vegetal pole to blastocoel, will secrete calcium carbonate to form internal skeleton

29
Q

In SEA URCHINS: When primary mesenchyme cells begin to migrate, remaining cells of the vegetal plate ______ to form the archenteron (future gut).

A

invaginate

30
Q

archenteron

A

future digestive tract formed during gastrulation running from vegetal to animal poles

31
Q

In sea urchins:
The vegetal plate is made up of endodermal cells, meaning what structure is also made up of it?

A

32
Q

The filopodia job is to _ and _ the archenteron. They are cellular extensions that facilitate cell _ and _

A

33
Q

The filopoida is made up of ____

Q

The point of invagination in sea urchin embryos is called

A

35
Q

In sea urchins: blastopore on vegetal pole will become ____

A

36
Q

What are two key features of frog gastrulation?

46
Q

Inner cell mass (ICM):

outer epithelium of the blastocyst; eventually forms
the fetal portion of the placenta
