Following statements are regarding to gastrulation in chick embryo.

A. During gastrulation, future mesodermal and endodermal cells migrate from the epiblast through the primitive streak into the interior of the blastoderm.

B. An aggregation of cells, known as Hensen’s node, forms at the posterior end of the streak.

C. As the streak extends, cells of the epiblast move toward the primitive streak, through it, and then outward again underneath the surface to give rise internally to the mesoderm and endoderm, the latter displacing a lower layer of cells called the endoblast.
