At this point, the cells converge to generate three distinct layers of cells, namely the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. The ectoderm encompasses an organism’s nervous system, while the mesoderm develops muscles and connective tissues.

Lastly, the endoderm establishes the foundation for internal organs, such as the digestive system.

Afterward, the embryo initiates the process of neurulation, in which the ectoderm metamorphoses into neural tissue, forming the brain and spinal cord.

At last, the larvae hatches from the egg. Image credit: Jan van IJken/Youtube
The commencement of organogenesis leads to the creation of the primary organs of the creature. During this stage, observable features of the newt such as the beating heart and eyes emerge, and the larvae eventually hatches from the egg.
