The primitive streak
Term
What condition is the right/left side of body reversed
Definition
Situs inversus
Term
How is partial situs inversus more serious
Definition
Abnormal connections made with blood vessels delivering oxygenated blood to the wrong parts
Term
What is beginning to form when epiblast cells move towards the primitive streak
Definition
Definitive endoderm
Term
Cells detach from the epiblast and do what?

Insert into the hypoblast to replace hypoblast cells
Term
When is the definitive endoderm formation completed
Definition
When the hypoblast cells have been completely replaced
Term
What is formed when epiblast cells move down through the primitive streak to form a middle layer

Definition
Neurulation
Term
What do signals from the notochord cause?
Definition
The overlying ectoderm to thicken and form the neural plate
Term
What is induction
