Learning Activity 1
- Identify the different contributions of the trilaminar embryo to the formation of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).
- Describe the development and folding of the yolk sac and endoderm.
- List the adult structures developed from the foregut, midgut and hindgut.
1. Trilaminar Embryo Contributions
The gastrointestinal tract has contributions from all 3 germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm). Identify the specific components that each germ layer contributes to the tract. We will discuss the associated organs later in Activity 3.

2. Folding
In week 3 to 4 (GA week 5 and 6) folding of the entire embryonic disc occurs ventrally. The notochord forms a midline rod-like region running rostro-caudally.
Watch the two animations below and discuss the GIT folding that is occurring within the embryo.

In relation to the notochord:
- Laterally (either side of the notochord) lies mesoderm.
- Rostrally (above the notochord end) lies the buccopharyngeal membrane, above this again is the mesoderm region forming the heart.
- Caudally (below the notochord end) lies the primitive streak (where gastrulation occurred), below this again is the cloacal membrane.
- Dorsally (above the notochord) lies the neural tube then ectoderm.
- Ventrally (beneath the notochord) lies the mesoderm then endoderm.
Folding of the embryonic disc "pinches off" part of the yolk sac forming the first primitive GIT.
