*When the embryo is in it's blastula stage it has two cell layers; the epiblast and hypoblast.
*When the embryo is in it's blastula stage it has two cell layers; the epiblast and hypoblast.
**The epiblast is columnar whilst the hypoblast is cubiodal - each is a single cell thick.
**The epiblast is columnar whilst the hypoblast is cuboidal - each is a single cell thick.
*'''The epiblast gives rise to all three cell layers; the hypoblast makes no contribution'''.

*The endoderm and mesoderm develop by proliferation and migration of cells of the epiblast.
