Examples of blastomere in the following topics:
-
Cleavage, the Blastula Stage, and Gastrulation
- Each cell within the blastula is called a blastomere.
-
Cellular Differentiation
- A pathway that is guided by the cell adhesion molecules is created as the cellular blastomere differentiates from the single-layered blastula to the three primary layers of germ cells in mammals, namely the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm (listed from most distal, or exterior, to the most proximal, or interior).
