(Science: embryology) During embryonic development of most animals a complex and co-ordinated series of cellular movements occurs at the end of cleavage. The details of these movements, gastrulation, vary from species to species, but usually result in the formation of the three primary germ layers, ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm.

... between 13 and 16 pmol O2 hour21 per individual to day 47 (the time period studied). Protein synthesis rates were about 5 ng hour21 except during gastrulation (day 12), when a rapid increase in protein synthesis was evident (15 to 25 ng hour21; Fig. 1A) (9). Once the pluteus larval stage was reached ...
