[...] la gastrulation est l'étape la plus importante du développement embryonnaire dans la mesure où elle conduit à la mise en place des trois feuillets qui donneront naissance à tous les organes de l'individu. Les mécanismes de la gastrulation ne sont pas identiques dans toutes les espèces, mais le résultat est la mise en place des trois éléments de base que sont l'ectoderme, l'endoderme et le mésoderme primitifs. 3, record 1, French, - feuillet%20embryonnaire
