gastrulation

(noun)

the stage of embryo development at which a gastrula is formed from the blastula by the inward migration of cells

Examples of gastrulation in the following topics:

  • Cleavage, the Blastula Stage, and Gastrulation

    • The cells in the blastula rearrange themselves spatially to form three layers of cells in a process known as gastrulation.
    • During gastrulation, the blastula folds upon itself to form the three layers of cells.
    • Describe the events that occur from the formation of a zygote to gastrulation
  • Animal Reproduction and Development

    • Next, the blastula undergoes further cell division and cellular rearrangement during a process called gastrulation.
    • Different cell layers (called germ layers) are formed during gastrulation.
    • During a process called gastrulation, the blastula folds inward to form a cavity in the gastrula.
  • Gene Expression for Spatial Positioning

    • Gastrulation leads to the formation of the three germ layers that give rise, during further development, to the different organs in the animal body.
  • Animal Characterization Based on Features of Embryological Development

    • These germ layers are formed during gastrulation, developing into the animal's specialized tissues and organs.
  • Phylum Nematoda

    • The embryo is released from the vulva during the gastrulation stage.
