Early organogenesis in a frog embryo. | The archenteron develops from endoderm. The dorsal ectoderm folds to form the neural plate. | The neural plate pinches off to generate the neural tube, which will develop into the brain and the spinal cord. The notochord forms from mesoderm. | Other mesoderm cells form tissue that line the coelom. The somites will give rise to segmental structures such as vertebrae. |
