The migration of individual cells into the embryo involved in deuterostomic gastrulation. The orderly movement of epithelial cells from one site to another that contributes to the migration of mesendodermal tissue. The migration of individual cells within the blastocyst to help establish the multi-layered body plan of the organism (gastrulation). For example, the migration of cells from the surface to the interior of the embryo (ingression). A complex and coordinated series of cellular movements that occurs at the end of cleavage during embryonic development of most animals. The details of gastrulation vary from species to species, but usually result in the formation of the three primary germ layers, ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. The orderly movement of mesodermal cells from one site to another. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism or multicellular structure. The interdigitation of cells along the mediolateral axis during gastrulation. The directed migration of individual cells and small groups of cells toward the dorsal midline during gastrulation. This process does not require cell rearrangement. Cell migration that is accomplished by extension and retraction of a pseudopodium. The specification and formation of anisotropic intracellular organization that contributes to the self-propelled directed movement of an ameboid cell taking part in gastrulation. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized during the embryonic phase. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The embryonic phase begins with zygote formation. The end of the embryonic phase is organism-specific. For example, it would be at birth for mammals, larval hatching for insects and seed dormancy in plants.
