Study Notes

Early Embryonic Development

  • Morula is a solid mass of blastomeres formed after multiple cleavage events of a zygote.
  • Blastopore serves as the opening to the gut where the process of invagination begins.

Cell Division and Properties

  • Embryo development involves a few hundred to several thousand cells, with significant increase in total DNA content due to mitosis.
  • Each daughter cell nucleus retains the original DNA content of the zygote, classifying these cells as blastomeres.

Key Structures in Embryogenesis

  • The blastula is characterized by a cluster of cells known as the blastocyst.
  • Archentron is the internal cavity formed following the invagination process during early development.
  • Fluid-filled cavity within the blastula is referred to as the blastocoel.

Body Cavities

  • Coelom is identified as a body cavity that is completely surrounded by mesoderm, playing a crucial role in the organization of the body plan.
