1894 Jrnl. Royal Microsc. Soc. 544 Miss J. B. Platt has studied the ontogenetic differentiation of the ectoderm in Necturus. The ‘mesoderm’ in the head is differentiated by the yolk spherules which it contains into two sharply separable layers—mesectoderm and mesendoderm.
1934 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) B. 223 178 Yolk cells are continually being formed during the gastrulation period from the inner cells of the mesendoderm.
1964 H. W. Manner Elem. Compar. Vertebr. Embryol. v. 50 The morphological result of this invagination [of the blastula] is a cup-like structure, composed of two layers of cells, an outer ectoderm and an inner mesendoderm, so called because it contains the presumptive material for both the mesoderm and endoderm.
1995 Development 121 1402/1 At stage 4, strong expression was observed..in developing mesendoderm in the primitive groove.
