I know this is probably very low yield, but I was wondering:

Does the epiblast form the ectoderm and mesoderm whereas the hypoblast forms the endoderm

OR

Does the epiblast form all three layers -- ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.

We had a lecturer say one thing, and some books seem to say differently. Just a little confused. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

AFAIK:
Epiblast becomes all three layers,
while Hypoblast just becomes yolk sac or something
