  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

    In many organisms including Xenopus and Drosophila, the midblastula transition usually occurs after a particular number of cell divisions for a given species, and is defined by the ending of the synchronous cell division cycles of the early blastula development, and the lengthening of the cell cycles by the addition of the G1 and G2 phases.

  4. 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.

  5. Blastomere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastomere

    In biology, a blastomere is a type of cell produced by cell division (cleavage) of the zygote after fertilization; blastomeres are an essential part of blastula formation, and blastocyst formation in mammals. [1]

  6. Animal embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_embryonic_development

    In developmental biology, animal embryonic development, also known as animal embryogenesis, is the developmental stage of an animal embryo. Embryonic development starts with the fertilization of an egg cell (ovum) by a sperm cell (spermatozoon). [1] Once fertilized, the ovum becomes a single diploid cell known as a zygote.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Implantation (embryology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implantation_(embryology)

    The blastocyst is still enclosed in the egg-coat known as the zona pellucida, and for it to be able to implant into the uterine wall it must rid itself of this covering. This stage is known as zona hatching, and when there is sufficient dissolution the blastocyst is able to initiate the apposition stage of implantation.
