24
Q

The ________ is a thickened area of hypoblast.

A

prechordal plate

25
Q

    the mouth (i.e. you can now distinguish cranial and caudal ends)
  • produces molecular signals that instruct development of the head from the cranial end of the epiblast
  • as part of the hypoblast, will not contribute any cells that would be found in a newborn baby
A

Prechordal plate

26
Q

The _____ gives rise to the three germ layers (embryonic ectoderm, embryonic mesoderm, embryonic endoderm) that will form all the organs and tissues of the baby. _____ is a subset of the embryonic mesoderm.

A
  • epiblast

- Notochord

27
Q

During the third week of development, the _______ of the embryo are established.

A

three germ layers

28
Q

______ converts the bilaminar embryonic disc into a trilaminar embryonic disc. This is the beginning of morphogenesis (development of body form), and includes formation of the three germ layers and establishment of body axes.

A

29
Q

The groove or indentation in the caudal midline of the epiblast is the _____; it first appears at the caudal end of the epiblast, and extends towards the cranial end

A

primitive streak

30
Q

At the bottom of the primitive streak is the ______, where some cells of the epiblast are actively migrating ventrally (_______).

- invagination

31
Q

Some epiblast cells will displace the hypoblast cells, and become _______.
