Left: An almost perfect semicircular lip of the blastopore, stage 11. A diffuse dark line completes a circle. The upper half of the circle is a rather sharp line. Cells above and to the sides of this line are moving toward the line and disap- pearing into the interior to form the roof and sides of the archenteron. Although the blastopore is continuous, we nevertheless distinguish a dorsal lip from two lateral lips. Obviously there is no sharp demarcation between dorsal and lateral lips. The lower half of the circle is not yet a part of the blastopore, but the rela- tively dark region foreshadows the ventral lip of the blastopore. The mass of cells inside the circle is presumptive endoderm. Right: A circular blastopore with its lips engulfing practically all the presumptive endoderm. The white area inside the circle is formed of yolk cells and is therefore termed a yolk plug. This plug fits tightly into the blastopore. (Courtesy Professor John A. Moore, Columbia University.) in size at 24 and 28 hours. On each side of the dorsal lip more and more cells become involved in the process of gastrulation, and the blastoporal lip extends laterally, forming a semicircle (Fig. 58, stage 11; see also Fig. 61). The lateral lips extend farther ventrally and meet to form the ventral lip of the blastopore (stage 12, Fig. 58 and 61). This blastopore communicates with the archenteron but the lips fit tightly over the yolk, and thus an actual open- ing of the archenteron to the exterior is not present at this time. The yolk forms a plug which fits tightly in the blastopore. As the archenteron becomes larger, the blastocoel becomes smaller and finally is completely obliterated. During development from 6 to 28 hours there has been little change in shape, and the gastrula is almost spherical. There has been some increase in.
