Morula and Blastula Flashcards
The stage after the morula stage is called _
Blastula
The characteristic feature of the blastula stage is the formation of a cavity called _
Blastocoele
A discoidal cup of cells lying above the cavity.
Blastoderm
With this elongation of blastula, a cluster of cells is formed at one end and is known as the _
Inner cell mass
What will the inner cell mass gives rise to?
Epiblast and primitive ectoderm, all embryonic tissues and some extraembryonic membrane
It will form the blastocoele.
Trophoblast
What developmental stage is best for embryo transfer?
Blastocyst stage / Blastula
This developmental stage resemble a mulberry fruit.
Morula
The stage after cleavage is called _
Morula
The stage is already a morula when _
The development mitotically produce a solid mass of cells (16 or more)
When blastomeres coalesced forming a compact mass.
Compacted morula
