embryonic disc

embryonic disc
the early embryo before the formation of somite. It is a flat disc of tissue bounded dorsally by the amniotic cavity and ventrally by the yolk sac. The formation of the primitive streak and archenteron in the embryonic disc determines the orientation of the embryo, which then becomes progressively elongated.
