* '''foregut''' - The first of the three part/division ('''foregut''' - midgut - hindgut) of the early forming gastrointestinal tract. The foregut runs from the buccopharyngeal membrane to the midgut and forms all the tract (esophagus and stomach) from the oral cavity to beneath the stomach. In addition, a ventral bifurcation of the foregut will also form the respiratory tract epithelium. | * '''foregut''' - The first of the three part/division ('''foregut''' - midgut - hindgut) of the early forming gastrointestinal tract.

* '''gastrulation''' - The process of differentiation forming a gastrula. Term means literally means "to form a gut" but is more in development, as this process converts the bilaminar embryo (epiblast/hypoblast) into the trilaminar embryo ([[Endoderm]]/ [[Mesoderm]]/[[Ectoderm]]) establishing the 3 germ layers that will form all the future tissues of the entire embryo. This process also establishes the the initial body axes. (More? [[Gastrulation]]) | * '''gastrulation''' - The process of differentiation forming a gastrula.
