Uberon definition : The thin bilaminar membrane derived from the prechordal plate that is devoid of mesoderm
and formed by the apposition of the stomodeal ectoderm with the foregut endoderm;
after the embryonic head fold has evolved it lies at the caudal limit of the stomodeum,
forming a septum between the primitive mouth and pharynx; the membrane eventually
disappears, and thus a communication is established between the mouth and the future
pharynx.;
