blastocoele

IPA: /ˌblæstəˈsiːl/

KK: /blæstəˈsiːl/

noun

Definition: A fluid-filled space found in the early stage of an embryo called a blastula.

Example: The blastocoele is essential for the development of the embryo.

blastocoelic

IPA: /ˌblæstəˈsiːlɪk/

KK: /blæstəˈkoʊlɪk/

adjective

Definition: Relating to a specific cavity in the early stages of an embryo.

Example: The blastocoelic structure is crucial for the development of the embryo.

blastocyst

IPA: //ˈblæstəˌsɪst//

KK: /ˈblæstəˌsɪst/

noun

Definition: A stage in early embryonic development in placental mammals, characterized by a hollow ball of cells that will eventually form the embryo and other structures necessary for development.

Example: The blastocyst implants itself into the uterine wall to begin the process of pregnancy.

blastoderm

IPA: //ˈblæstəˌdɜrm//

KK: /ˈblæstəˌdɜrm/

noun

Definition: A layer of cells that forms on the surface of a fertilized egg, which later develops into the embryo.

Example: The blastoderm is crucial for the early development of the embryo in birds and reptiles.

blastodisc

IPA: /ˈblæstəˌdɪsk/

KK: /ˈblæstəˌdɪsk/

noun

Definition: A flat, round area of cells on top of the yolk in an egg that develops into an embryo.

Example: The blastodisc is crucial for the early development of the embryo in bird eggs.

blastoma

IPA: /blæˈstoʊmə/

KK: /blæˈstoʊmə/

noun

Definition: A type of tumor made up of immature cells that have not yet developed into normal tissue.

Example: The doctor diagnosed the patient with a blastoma after reviewing the test results.

blastomere

IPA: //ˈblæstəˌmɪr//

KK: /ˈblæstəˌmɪr/

noun

Definition: A type of cell that forms during the early stages of development after a fertilized egg divides.

Example: The blastomeres continue to divide and eventually form a structure called the morula.

blastomycosis

IPA: //blæstəˈmaɪkoʊsɪs//

KK: /blæstəˈmaɪkoʊsɪs/

noun

Definition: A type of infection caused by a fungus that can lead to inflammation in the skin, lungs, or other organs.

Example: The doctor diagnosed her with blastomycosis after she showed symptoms of a fungal infection.

blastopore

IPA: /ˈblæstəˌpɔr/

KK: /ˈblæstəˌpɔr/

noun

Definition: The opening that forms during the early development of an embryo, leading to the digestive cavity.

Example: In embryology, the blastopore is crucial for the formation of the gut.

blastoporic

IPA: //ˌblæstəˈpɔrɪk//

KK: /blæstəˈpɔrɪk/

adjective

Definition: Related to the opening in the early development of an embryo where the gut forms.

Example: The blastoporic region is crucial for the development of the digestive system in embryos.
