👉 Gastrular is a medical term that refers to the digestive system of an animal. It includes the stomach, duodenum, and jejunum, as well as the small intestine. The term "gastro" means "stomach," and "grae" indicates "to go." Thus, gastrulation is the process by which a developing embryo moves from its mother's womb to its final organ of birth, where it develops into an adult organism.
