The Ectoderm is the start of a tissue that covers the body surfaces. It emerges first and forms from the outermost of the germ layers.

The Ectoderm forms: the central nervous system, the lens of the eye, cranial and sensory, the ganglia and nerves, pigment cells, head connective tissues, the epidermis, hair, and mammary glands

At the beginning of week three after fertilization the embryo is in the the form of a bilaminar disc with the epiblast layer on top, continuous with the amniotic cavity and the hypoblast layer below, continuous with the yolk sac. Gastrulation is process by which this bilaminar (2 layer) disc becomes three germ layers: the endoderm, the mesoderm and the ectoderm. The primitive streak forms from a thickened band of epiblast cells. These cells proliferate and migrate in between the two layers. It is therefore the primitive streak which forms the mesoderm (middle layer). The epiblast layer is now the embryonic ectoderm and the hypoblast layer is the embryonic endoderm.

The middle embryonic germ layer, lying between the ectoderm and the endoderm, from which connective tissue, muscle, bone, and the urogenital and circulatory systems develop.

A mesoderm is one of the three tissue layers in the embryo of an animal, alongside the ectoderm and the endoderm.

Does the ectoderm form neural tissues?

The ectoderm nearest the embryonic midline - often described as the neuroectoderm - does form into the neural tube, the embryonic structure from which the nervous system develops. However, more lateral ectoderm matures into skin and associated tissues.

What are the three germ layers of a gastrula?

From inner to outer, the germ cell layers are the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. Each of the three layers develops into a different part of the embryo: the endoderm into the respiratory, auditory, and digestive system; the mesoderm into the skeleton and muscles; and the ectoderm into the skin, tooth enamel, and nervous system.
