    Introduction

    (Latin, morula = mulberry) An early stage in post-fertilization development when cells have rapidly mitotically divided to produce a solid mass of cells (12-15 cells) with a "mulberry" appearance. This stage is followed b… See more

  1. Early stage in post-fertilization development
    An early stage in post-fertilization development when cells have rapidly mitotically divided to produce a solid mass of cells (16 or more) with a “mulberry” appearance is called the morula stage. The morula stage is the final stage prior to the formation of a fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoel cavity.

    The morula is a stage of post-fertilization development when a fertilized egg that is known as a single-celled zygote, transitions to a mass composed of around 10-30 cells. During in vitro fertilization (IVF), the morula phase typically occurs on day 4 of development post-fertilization.

    A morula is an early stage in the development of animals, including humans, when cleavage is going on and the embryo consists of a solid ball of cells (blastomeres). It is characterized as a ball of 8-16 cells and is formed when the zygote reaches the uterus and becomes a cluster of small cells surrounded by the zona pellucida.

    What is a morula?
    A morula refers to a solid 'ball' of cells that forms during the early stages of embryo development, consisting of multiple blastomeres. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic. A.K. Charles, O.M. Faye-Petersen, in Pathobiology of Human Disease, 2014

    What is a morula stage?
    In humans, morula stage of development occurs during the first days in week one following fertilization (GA week 3) and is described as Carnegie stage 2. This stage is followed by formation of a cavity, the blastocoel, which defines formation of the blastocyst.

    What is the morula stage in assisted reproductive technology?
    This stage is followed by formation of a cavity, the blastocoel, which defines formation of the blastocyst. In Assisted Reproductive Technology, the morula stage is when one of the earliest prenatal diagnostic test can be carried out, by removing a single cell (blastomere) and carrying out genetic diagnosis on its DNA.

    What is a morula in a mammalian embryo?
    The morula is the first embryonic stage where mammalian cells can be categorized as being either internal or external. The morula reaches the uterus between three and four days of development and greatly absorbs nutrients and fluid from the surrounding in preparation for the implantation process.
