Gastrula

What do we mean by gastrula?

An embryo at the stage following the blastula, after the movement of cells results in the formation of the three germ layers, ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. noun

In embryology, that form of the germ of the Metazoa which is a germcup of which the walls consist of two layers. noun

It is the result of that process of invagination which occurs in most animals, whereby a vesicular morula, blasto-sphere, or blastula is converted into a cup-like two-layered germ, with a blastopore or orifice of invagination, and an endoderm or membrane inclosing a primitive intestinal cavity, the endoderm itself being inclosed within an ectoderm. The word enters into many loose compounds of obvious meaning, as gastrula-body, -cup, -form, -formation, -germ, -mouth, -stage, -stomach, etc., mostly derived from the translation of the German compounds used in Haeckel's works. See gastrulation. noun

An embryonic form having its origin in the invagination or pushing in of the wall of the planula or blastula (the blastosphere) on one side, thus giving rise to a double-walled sac, with one opening or mouth (the blastopore) which leads into the cavity (the archenteron) lined by the inner wall (the hypoblast). See Illust. under invagination. In a more general sense, an ideal stage in embryonic development. See gastræa. noun

A stage in the development of embryos of most animals consisting of a two-layered sac of ectoderm and endoderm. noun

Double-walled stage of the embryo resulting from invagination of the blastula; the outer layer of cells is the ectoderm and the inner layer differentiates into the mesoderm and endoderm noun

A stage in the development of embryos of most animals consisting of a three-layered sac of ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm.
