Question
Question: Identify the figure given below and the part labelled “A”. , then produce cell division to form the cells of blastula into two cells. The idea is then referred to as the blastocyst.
The given diagram is a blastocyst and A is trophoblast. The blastula cells are distinguished into two cell layers, both inside and out. The external cells form the trophoblast which later forms and helps to enforce the placental cord. The cell mass forms the embryo that grows. The intermediate cavity is called blastocoel.
Note: In the early development of mammals, the blastocyst is a structure. It has an internal cell mass (ICM) that then forms the embryo. The exterior layer of the blastocyst is made up of the cells called the trophoblast collectively. The inner cell mass and a fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoel are covered by this layer. The placenta comes from the trophoblast.
