Gastrulation - The point in embryogenesis where the basic organization of the organism is established. A. Establishment of the three basic germ layers Ectoderm, Mesoderm, Endoderm B. Groups of cells that will give rise to specific organ systems and tissues are moved into the right position both externally and internally. C. Groups of cells that will influence each others differentiation are positioned so they can have an effect on each other.
QUESTIONS? How are layers of tissue established? How do cells get to their proper positions for development? In part, this is accomplished by various types of Morphogenetic Movements.
Morphogenetic Movements Epiboly
Morphogenetic Movements Invagination, Evagination
Involution Morphogenetic Movements Involution Epiboly over a fold
Morphogenetic Movements Delamination
Morphogenetic Movements Ingression
Morphogenetic Movements Cell Migration Cell Migration
Morphogenetic Movements “Intercalation: rows of cells move between one another, creating an array of cells that is longer (in one or more dimensions) but thinner.” “ConvergentExtension: rows of cells intercalate, but the intercalation is highly directional.” - involved in formation of the primitive streak in avian and mammalian embryos. http://biology.kenyon.edu/courses/biol114/Chap14/Chapter_14.html

z The morphogenetic movement that results in elongation of the primitive streak is convergent extension.

PRIMITIVE STREAK Actually, this is a human embryo. We have the same type of gastrulation as a chicken embryo, yet we do not have a large yolky egg. Why might this be? http://biology.kenyon.edu/courses/biol114/Chap14/Chapter_14A.html
Establishing the Endoderm Extraembryonic endoderm Primary Hypoblast Secondary Hypoblast Embryonic endoderm Derived from cells that are originally in the epiblast that ingress through the primitive streak region and then migrate and insert into the hypoblast layer.

Ingression during avian gastrulation Two regions of ingression: 1. Hensen’s Node 2. Primitive groove
Later, * Hensen’s node will contribute to somites as well *Some cells from Hensen’s node will remain in the epiblast and contribute to neural plate Timing (waves) of ingression: Hensen’s node - initial waves • 1st wave - foregut endoderm (mostly as primitive • streak forms) 2nd wave - head mesoderm 3rd wave - chordamesoderm
Ingression during avian gastrulation Primitive groove 1st wave - rest of embryonic endoderm (mostly as primitive streak forms) 2nd wave - mesoderm (embryonic & extraembryonic)
