  2. Blastocyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastocyst

    A blastocyst is implanted five to six days after the eggs have been fertilized. [35] After five or six days it is much easier to determine which embryos will result in healthy live births. Knowing which embryos will succeed allows just one blastocyst to be implanted, cutting down dramatically on the health risk and expense of multiple births.

  3. Inner cell mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_cell_mass

    It is the mass of cells inside the blastocyst that will eventually give rise to the definitive structures of the fetus. The inner cell mass forms in the earliest stages of embryonic development , before implantation into the endometrium of the uterus . [ 1 ]

  4. Embryo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryo

    Depending on the species, a blastula or blastocyst stage embryo can appear as a ball of cells on top of yolk, or as a hollow sphere of cells surrounding a middle cavity. [8] The embryo's cells continue to divide and increase in number, while molecules within the cells such as RNAs and proteins actively promote key developmental processes such ...

  5. Human embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_embryonic_development

    The placenta develops once the blastocyst is implanted, connecting the embryo to the uterine wall. The decidua here is termed the decidua basalis; it lies between the blastocyst and the myometrium and forms the maternal part of the placenta. The implantation is assisted by hydrolytic enzymes that erode the epithelium.

  6. Talk:Blastocyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Blastocyst

    the blastula then develops into the blastocyst by cell differentiation and compaction, and the ICM (embryoblast) is formed; the blastocyst is not an embryo. A part of the blastocyst develops during cell differentiation into the embryoblast (inner cell mass), while other parts of it develop into other things (eg the placenta). It is only the ...

  7. Blastulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastulation

    In mammalian development, the blastula develops into the blastocyst with a differentiated inner cell mass and an outer trophectoderm. The blastula (from Greek βλαστός (blastos meaning sprout)) is a hollow sphere of cells known as blastomeres surrounding an inner fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoel.

  8. 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.

  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.
