Inembryology , the epiblast is a tissue type derived from theinner cell mass . It lies above thehypoblast .In
mammalian embryogenesis , thecolumnar cells of the epiblast are adjacent to thetrophoblast , while thecuboidal cells of the hypoblast are closer to theBlastocoele . The epiblast, whilst referred to as the primary ectoderm, differentiates to form all three layers of the trilaminar embryonic disc in a process calledgastrulation .ee also
