(Fig. 2) Schematic drawing of cell clusters that comprise germ layers, organs, and tissues of gastrulae and larvae

Caption

(A) Gastrula (left side view). (B) Anatomical distribution of each cluster in gastrulae. (C) An early larva, left side view. (D) Anatomical distribution of each cluster in early larvae. Cluster numbers are shown with corresponding germ layers, organs, and tissues. This figure shows that for examples cells of cluster 8 comprise apical plate and cells of cluster 9 comprise coelom, a mesodermal derivative.
