- the blastula of a placental mammal in which some differentiation of cells has occurred
- The blastocyst is a structure formed in the early embryogenesis of mammals, after the formation of the morula. It is a specifically mammalian example of a blastula. ...
- (Blastocysts) In mammals, the embryo at the 16-cell stage of development through the 64-cell satge when the embryo implants.
- A preimplantation embryo of about 150 cells produced by cell division following fertilization. The blastocyst is a sphere made up of an outer layer of cells (the trophoblast), a fluid-filled cavity (the blastocoel), and a cluster of cells on the interior (the inner cell mass).
- A very early embryo consisting of about 150-300 cells. A blastocyst may or may not implant into the uterus.
- Multicellular embryo that is seen five to six days after fertilization.
- The modified blastula stage of embryos, consisting of the inner cell mass and a thin trophoblast layer enclosing the blastocoele.
- After a mammalian ovum is fertilised it begins to divide. The blastocyst is an early stage of this process which consists of a sphere that is fluid-filled and surrounded by a layer of cells, surrounding a fluid-filled cavity. There is a mass of cells at one side which will become the embryo. ...
- An early stage in development of an embryo, when the cells are not yet differentiated into organs.
- The mammalian conceptus in the post-morula stage. It has a fluid filled cavity known as blastoceole and is not limited to one germ layer.
- The four-to-nine day-old embryo (post-fertilization) which consists of 100-200 total cells and is approximately 1/10 of a millimeter in diameter (roughly the size of a period at the end of this sentence). This stage of development is prior to implantation in the uterus. ...
- A preimplantation embryo that contains a fluid-filled cavity called a blastocoel.
- An embryo which has developed to a hollow ball of approximately 60-100 cells after 5 days in culture.
- An early stage of human development, comprising 50 to 100 cells; the structure found in early pregnancy before implantation.
- A very early embryo consisting of approximately 150-300 cells. The blastocyst is a spherical cell mass produced by cleavage of the zygote (fertilized egg) after approximately 5-7 days of cell divisions. ...
- A preimplantation embryo of about 150 cells produced by cell division (mitosis) following fertilization. ...
- An early stage of embryo development made up of a hollow sphere and an inner cell mass.
- a thin-walled hollow structure in early embryonic development that contains a cluster of cells. It is preceded by a zygote, the fertilized egg cell, and succeeded by an embryo.
- An embryonic stage in mammals; a hollow ball of cells produced one week after fertilization in humans.
- (also blastocist) A mammalian embryo (fertilized ovum) in the early stages of development, approximately up to the time of implantation. It consists of a hollow ball of cells.
- early stage in embryonic development (5-7 days after fertilization) before implantation; consists of outer trophoblast and inner stem cell mass.
- An embryo reaches the blastocyst stage about five days after egg collection. Some doctors do what is called blastocyst transfers rather than the more usual earlier transfer after 2 or 3 days following egg collection.
- One of the earliest stages of an embryo.
- A cluster of cells representing multiple cell divisions that have occurred in the fallopian tube after successful fertilization of an ovum by a sperm.
- An embryo with a fluid-filled blastocele cavity (usually developing by 5 or 6 days after fertilization).
