Gastrulation
[L. gastrula - the belly, stomach] The process in embryonic development whereby the three primary germ layers are laid down and the gut formed through complex cell migrations.

Gastrulation forms three major "germ layers": ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. By gastrulation, the genes of the zygote genome are being expressed.
View these stages as they occur in amphibians such as Xenopus laevis, the South African clawed frog.

Gastrulation is the point in development when the implanted blastocyst develops three germ layers, the endoderm, the exoderm and the mesoderm.

Gastrulation involves a series of cell migrations to positions where they will form the three primary cell layers.
Ectoderm forms the outer layer.
Endoderm forms the inner layer.
Mesoderm forms the middle layer.

In embryos homozygous for loss-of-function alleles of hh, expression of en is lost from ectodermal cells after gastrulation (DiNardo, 1988), indicating that the activity of hh, like that of wg, is also required for the maintenance of en transcription.

The gastrula phase of embryonic development is seen in all animals except the sponges. It follows the blastula phase. The gastrula phase is marked by a dramatic restructuring called gastrulation.
