The endoderm is responsible for giving rise to the mucosae and associated glands, such as those in the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory system. The ectoderm gives rise to the skin and nervous system, the mesoderm gives rise to the muscles, bones and blood vessels, and the blastocyst and morula are early stages of development and do not differentiate into specific germ layers.
