Invagination
- Epiblast cells migrate to primitive streak.
-Then they pass beneath epiblast to become
flask-shaped and separated from the epiblast and
form:
1- Endoderm that replaces the hypoblast.
2- Third layer between epiblast and endoderm
which consists of intra-embryonic mesoderm
with notochord in the median region..
3- Remaining epiblast cells after formation of
notchord and intraembryonic mesoderm will be
named ectoderm.

Notochord
• 1- Pre-notochordal process: Proliferation of cells from
primitive pit forms a cord of cells in median plane till
prochordal plate.
• 2- Notochordal canal: Canalization of the process forms
notochordal canal.
• 3- Notochordal-ectodermal fusion: fusion between floor of
the canal and endoderm.
•
•
Fate of Notochord
• It is the primitive axial skeleton around which
the vertebral column is formed.
• It remains in intervertebral disc as nucleus
pulposus.
