Term
Bilaminar Germ Disc
Definition
disc-shaped early embryo made of epiblast and hypoblast
Term

Definition
fluid-filled cyst of the blastocyst
Term
blastocyst
Definition
post-morula stage, made of Embryoblast, blastocoele, trophoblast
Term
dermomyotome
Definition
the dorsolateral portion of the somite that becomes dermis and subcutaneous tissue and skeletal muscle
Term
ectoderm
Definition
outer most later of cells of teh trilaminar germ disc which develops the nervous system, skin, hair, nails
Term
embryoblast
Definition
inner cell mass located in teh blastocyst
Term
enchondral
Definition
the type of bone formation that develops vertebrae (and most bones)
Term
endoderm
Definition
inner most layer of cells of the trilmaiar germ disc which develops the epithelium of the pharynk, resporatory tract, digestive tract, bladder, and urethra
Term
gastrulation
Definition
the process by which the epiblast cells migrate and invaginate to form the trilaminar disc
Term
mesoderm
Definition
the middle layer of cells of the trilaminar germ disc which form the notochord, connective tissue, bone, cartilage, muscle, blood, vessels, lymph, pleura, pericardium, peritoneum, kidney, and gonads
Term
morula
Definition
a solid mass of 8 blastomeres formed in day 3 after fertilization
Term
neural plate
Definition
neuroectoderm- portion of the ectoderm stimulated by notochord to produce the CNS and PNS
Term
neurulation
Definition
formation fo the neural plate followed by formation and closure of the nerual tube
Term
notochord
Definition
rod-shaped mesoderm which forms the rigid midline axis and is the axial basis for the skeleton

sclerotome
Definition
ventromedial portion of the somite that forms the VC and rids
Term
somite
Definition
paired, block-like mesoderm found on either side of the nerual tube that i the precursor to the VC, segmental musculature and overlying dermis
Term
trilaminar germ disc
Definition
the embryo disc-state made of 3 partsl ectoderm, mesodrm, and endoderm
Term
trophoblast
Definition
outer membranes of the blastocyst which burrow into the endometrium supplying nutrients to the embryo
