  2. Blastocyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastocyst

    The blastocyst is a structure formed in the early embryonic development of mammals. It possesses an inner cell mass (ICM) also known as the embryoblast which subsequently forms the embryo , and an outer layer of trophoblast cells called the trophectoderm .

  3. Blastulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastulation

    A blastula (blastocyst in mammals), is a sphere of cells surrounding a fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoel. The blastocoel contains amino acids , proteins , growth factors , sugars, ions and other components which are necessary for cellular differentiation .

  4. Bilaminar embryonic disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilaminar_embryonic_disc

    Once the blastocyst is formed, it undergoes implantation into the endometrium. [4] During implantation the blastocyst, which contains the inner cell mass, undergoes cellular differentiation into the two layers of the bilaminar embryonic disc. One of which is the epiblast, also known as the primitive ectoderm.

  5. Trophoblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophoblast

    The trophoblast (from Greek trephein: to feed; and blastos: germinator) is the outer layer of cells of the blastocyst. Trophoblasts are present four days after fertilization in humans. [1] They provide nutrients to the embryo and develop into a large part of the placenta.

  6. Blastomere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastomere

    The division of blastomeres from the zygote allows a single fertile cell to continue to cleave and differentiate until a blastocyst forms. The differentiation of the blastomere allows for the development of two distinct cell populations: the inner cell mass, which becomes the precursor to the embryo, and the trophectoderm, which becomes the precursor to the placenta.

  7. Animal embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_embryonic_development

    The egg cell is generally asymmetric, having an animal pole (future ectoderm).It is covered with protective envelopes, with different layers. The first envelope – the one in contact with the membrane of the egg – is made of glycoproteins and is known as the vitelline membrane (zona pellucida in mammals).

  8. Blastocoel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastocoel

    The blastocoel further expands and the inner cell mass becomes positioned on one side of the trophoblast cells forming a mammalian blastula, called a blastocyst. The axis formed by the inner cell mass and the blastocoel is the first axis of symmetry of mammalian embryo and determines its attachment point to the uterus.

  9. Blastoid (embryoid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastoid_(embryoid)

    A blastoid is an embryoid, [1] a stem cell-based embryo model which, morphologically and transcriptionally resembles the early, pre-implantation, mammalian conceptus, called the blastocyst. The first blastoids were created by the Nicolas Rivron laboratory [2] [3] by combining mouse embryonic stem cells and mouse trophoblast stem cells.
