Development of The Vertebrate Body Plan

The document discusses the development of the endoderm in vertebrate embryos. The endoderm develops into the pharynx, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory system. During the fourth week of gestation, the flattened embryo undergoes cephalocaudal and lateral folding which establishes the major body features. This folding leaves the foregut, midgut and hindgut. The endoderm later develops into the epithelial lining of the pharynx, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, and urinary bladder.

Endoderm
Development of the endoderm into:
Pharynx
GI tract
Respiratory System
Endoderm
When considering the development of the
endoderm, it is important to recognize that
during the beginning of the fourth week of gestation
the embryo undergoes both cephalocaudal folding
(also known as flexion) as well as lateral
(transverse) folding and

during these events the flattened three-layer embryo
develops into an embryo in which the major features
of the body form are now established.
