Examples of morula in the following topics:
-
- The process of cleavage is the step of embryogenesis where the zygote divides to produce a cluster of cells known as the morula.
- At least four initial cell divisions occur, resulting in a dense ball of at least sixteen cells called the morula.
- In amniotes, the cells of the morula are at first closely aggregated.
- Fluid collects between the trophoblast and the greater part of the inner cell mass, and thus the morula, is converted into the blastodermic vesicle (also called the blastocyst or blastula).
-
- This stage is preceded by the morula.
- The morula is a solid ball of about 16 undifferentiated, spherical cells.
- As cell division continues in the morula, the blastomeres change their shape and tightly align themselves against each other.
-
- Only cells from an earlier stage of the embryo, known as the morula, are totipotent, able to become all tissues in the body and the extraembryonic placenta.
-
- After about three days, the zygote forms a solid mass of cells by mitotic division, called a morula.
