Gastrulation is the process whereby the bilaminar embryonic disk is converted into a trilaminar disk, which occurs in the third gestational week.
The disc is attached to the temporal bone and condyle posteriorly by elastic and loose connective tissue; this tissue is also known as the retrodiscal soft tissue or the bilaminar zone.
Posteriorly, the bilaminar zone attaches the disk and capsule to the condyle and temporal bone.
