Ectoderm


Ectoderm
[Gr. ektos - outside, without; Gr. derma - skin, leather]. The outermost germ layer of the embryo that develops during gastrulation. It will form the nervous system, epidermis, and their accessory structures.

Ectoderm forms tissues associated with outer layers: skin, hair, sweat glands, epithelium. The brain and nervous system also develop from the ectoderm.

ectoderm
[Gk. ecto, outside + derma, skin]
The outermost of the three primary germ layers in animal embryos; gives rise to the outer covering and, in some phyla, the nervous system, inner ear, and lens of the eye.

ectoderm -- The outer basic layer of tissue in those animals with true tissues. In vertebrates, for instance, the embryonic ectoderm differentiates into the skin and also the nervous system.

ectoderm Outer layer of cells of an early embryo (gastrula stage); one of the germ layers, also sometimes used to include tissues derived from ectoderm.
ectognathous Derived character of most insects; mandibles and maxillae not in pouches.

ectoderm - (1) the outer cellular membrane of a diploblastic animal. (2) a: the outermost of the three primary germ layers of a triploblastic embryo. b: a tissue (as neural tissue) derived from this germ layer.

And those cells then can give rise, as I said, to all the different cells of the body and there are three major lineages that are important-the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm-and these three divisions make up all the cells of the body, ...
