Gastrulation: Movements, Gastrula layers & Amphibians

Gastrulation is the stage in the early embryonic development of most animals, during which the blastula (a single-layered hollow sphere of cells), or in mammals, the blastocyst, is reorganized into a two-layered or three-layered embryo known as the gastrula, with an infold named the blastopore. Before gastrulation, the embryo is a continuous epithelial…
