Blastopore Closure

Blastopore Closure is a developmental morphogenetic process in which the blastopore, an opening connecting the archenteron to the exterior during gastrulation, progressively constricts and ultimately seals as a result of coordinated cell movements and tissue rearrangements, marking the completion of germ layer internalization in embryonic development.
