Gastrulation begins with the invagination of the epiblast layer to form the primitive node and the primitive streak. Epiblast cells then migrate along the primitive streak and settle between the epiblast and hypoblast, forming three distinct layers that make up the trilaminar disc. At the end of gastrulation, the trilaminar germ disc consists of three germ layers involved in organogenesis: the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.sis: the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.)
