Gastrulation is the first stage of body plan formation where the single-layered blastoderm gives rise to the three germ layers - ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. There are a few basic types of cell movements during gastrulation including invagination, involution, ingression, delamination, and epiboly. These coordinated movements result in the presumptive organ-forming areas being positioned correctly in the embryo. Tubulation then occurs, where the primary organ rudiments further differentiate into secondary organ rudiments through processes like neurogenesis, notogenesis, and mesogenesis to form structures such as the neural tube, notochord, and somitic mesoder
