Q. What happens during the blastula stage?
Blastula, hollow sphere of cells, or blastomeres, produced during the development of an embryo by repeated cleavage of a fertilized egg. The cells of the blastula form an epithelial (covering) layer, called the blastoderm, enclosing a fluid-filled cavity, the blastocoel.
Q. How many days until the Blastula reaches the uterus?
In the uterus the zona pellucida surrounding the blastocyst breaks down, allowing it to implant into the uterine wall approximately 6 days after fertilization.

Q. What happens to the embryos in stage 3 of development?
During Stage 3 the embryo separates into outer trophoblast cells and inner embryoblasts (inner cell mass) that will develop into the embryo proper. The site of the inner cell mass determines the embryonic pole of the blastocyst. The opposite side of the blastocyst becomes the abembryonic pole.
Q. What do you notice to the embryos at their earliest stage?
Answer: 1. In the first stages of embryonic development, a single-celled zygote undergoes many rapid cell divisions, called cleavage, to form a blastula, which looks similar to a ball of cells.
Q. What significant change did you notice from its earliest stage to its advanced stage?
Answer. Answer: The embryo grows rapidly, and the baby’s external features begin to form. Your baby’s brain, spinal cord, and heart begin to develop.
Q. What are the three places an embryo can develop?
Terms in this set (17)
- Where are the 3 places an embryo can develop? Inside mother’s body, in egg, or in egg outside mother’s body.

- Amniotic egg.
- Placenta.
- Complete metamorphosis.
- Pupa.
- Incomplete metamorphosis.

Q. What is a good quality embryo?
An embryo that’s dividing well should ideally have between 6 to 10 cells by day 3. Research shows that 8 is best. (Day 3 embryos that had 8 or more cells showed a significantly higher live birth rate). However, not all good quality embryos follow the rules.
Q. Can you have a healthy baby at 40?
Due to advances in technology surrounding fertility, pregnancy, and delivery, it’s possible to safely have a baby at age 40. However, any pregnancy after age 40 is considered high risk.
Q. What is the risk of birth defects after 40?
The U.S. National Birth Defects Prevention Study found that women greater than age 40 are at increased risk of having babies with multiple types of heart defects, genital abnormalities, skull deformities, and esophageal malformations.
Q. What age is it too late to have a baby?
Many women are able to carry pregnancies after age 35 and beyond. However, there are certain risks — for both mother and baby — that tend to increase with maternal age. Infertility. It may take longer to get pregnant as you get closer to menopause.
