*Cells that have broken free of the epiblast make an epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
*Cells that have broken free of the epiblast make an epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
**This is achieved by breaking of the basal lamina, followed by breaking of intercellular connections. Cells undergoing this transition change from being regularly shaped to being irregularly shaped.
