In animal embryos, this refers to a layered group of cells that covers the outside of the embryo for a period of time after the gastrula stage (or equivalent). In animal embryos with complex bodies, part of the ectoderm forms the brain and neural tube under the influence of the mesodermal cell group that invaginated during gastrulation, and the brain further acts on the ectoderm to form the eyes, nose, etc. During neural tube formation, ectodermal cells (neural crest cells) that enter the embryo migrate to various parts of the embryo and become pigment cells, ganglia, etc. The ectoderm on the surface of the embryo becomes the tissue that forms the epidermis and epidermal structures.

動物の胚で、原腸胚期(あるいはそれに相当する時期)以後ある期間、胚の外側を覆う層状の細胞集団をいう。複雑な体制をもつ動物の胚では、外胚葉の一部は、原腸形成時に陥入した中胚葉細胞集団の影響下に脳、神経管をつくり、さらに脳は外胚葉に働きかけ、目、鼻などをつくる。神経管形成時、胚内に入った外胚葉細胞(神経冠細胞)は胚内各所に移動し、色素細胞、神経節などになる。胚表面の外胚葉は表皮や表皮の構造物をつくる組織となる。 [竹内重夫] [参照項目] |©島添 敏"> 原腸胚の形態(ウニ、カエル) 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
