Once the egg has been fertilised, what is it known as?
Zygote
What is the zygote known as after each cell has split?
Blastomere
What are the 32 blastomere cells called?
Morula
What type of junctions are between blastomeres in the morula?
Tight
What is the name of the protective membrane around the zygotes cell membrane?
Zona pellucida
What do the blastomeres differentiate into; name the inner and outer cells.
inner; embryoblasts
outer; trophoblasts
Name of cavity formed by movement of embryoblasts to one side of the morula
Blastoceal
