Ectoderm is one of the three primary germ cell layers in the very early embryo. with the
ectoderm as the most exterior (or distal) layer
Kaynak: Ectoderm Animals with radial symmetry , like cnidaria ns, produce two germ layers (the
ectoderm and endoderm ) making them diploblastic .
Kaynak: Germ layerThe surface
ectoderm (or external
ectoderm) forms the following structures: Skin (only epidermis; dermis is derived from mesoderm) (along

ectoderm (outside layer) and mesoderm (middle layer), with the endoderm as the innermost layer Cells
Kaynak: EndodermIn Xenopus laevis , the specification of the three germ layers (endoderm , mesoderm and
ectoderm ) occurs at the blastula stage Great

Kaynak: MesodermThe stomodeum is lined by
ectoderm , and is separated from the anterior end of the fore-gut by the buccopharyngeal membrane.
