The germ disc is the structure in the blastula that gives rise to the embryo, the ectoderm is one of the three primary germ layers that forms during gastrulation and gives rise to the nervous system and skin, and the amnion is the fluid-filled sac that surrounds and protects the developing embryo/fetus.
