organogenesis (dict)
|
OrganogenesisOrganogenesis is a stage of animal development where the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm are formed. The germ layers in organogenesis differ by three processes: folds, splits, and condensation. Developing early during this stage in chordaye animals are the neural tube and notochord. Vertebrate animals all differ from the gastrula the same way. Vertebrates develop a neural crest that differentiates into the skull's bones and muscles and peripheral components of the nervous system. The coelom of the body forms from a split of the mesoderm along the somite axis.
