  2. Blastulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastulation

    A. Morula and B. cross section of a blastula displaying the blastocoel and blastoderm of early animal embryonic development. Blastulation is the stage in early animal embryonic development that produces the blastula. In mammalian development, the blastula develops into the blastocyst with a differentiated inner cell mass and an outer trophectoderm.

  3. Fish development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_development

    Fish embryos go through a process called mid-blastula transition which is observed around the tenth cell division in some fish species. Once zygotic gene transcription starts, slow cell division begins and cell movements are observable. [4] During this time three cell populations become distinguished. The first population is the yolk syncytial ...

  4. Midblastula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midblastula

    During this stage, the embryo is referred to as a blastula. The series of changes to the blastula that characterize the midblastula transition include activation of zygotic gene transcription, slowing of the cell cycle, increased asynchrony in cell division, and an increase in cell motility.

  5. Animal embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_embryonic_development

    The blastula is usually a spherical layer of cells (the blastoderm) surrounding a fluid-filled or yolk-filled cavity the blastocoel. [citation needed] Mammals at this stage form a structure called the blastocyst, characterized by an inner cell mass that is distinct from the surrounding blastula.

  6. Cleavage (embryo) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_(embryo)

    In embryology, cleavage is the division of cells in the early development of the embryo, following fertilization. [1] The zygotes of many species undergo rapid cell cycles with no significant overall growth, producing a cluster of cells the same size as the original zygote.

  7. 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.

  8. Coregonus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coregonus

    Coregonus is a diverse genus of fish in the salmon family ().The Coregonus species are known as whitefishes.The genus contains at least 68 described extant taxa, but the true number of species is a matter of debate.

  9. Cavitation (embryology) - Wikipedia

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

    After fertilization, cell division of the zygote occurs which results in the formation of a solid ball of cells (blastomeres) called the morula. Further division of cells increases their number in the morula, and the morula differentiates them into two groups. The internal cells become the inner cell mass, and the outer cells become the ...
