11.30 Maintaining lineages in the mouse blastocyst

The trophoblast cells secrete fluid into the morula to create a blastocoel.

As the blastocoel expands, the ICM becomes positioned on one side of the ring of trophoblast cells.

The resulting type of blastula is called a blastocyst.

11.45 Schematic representation of the chick and mouse vertebral pattern along the anterior-posterior axis (Part 1)

Vertebrates: 7 cervical, 13 thoracic, 6 lumbar, 4 sacral, and a variable number of caudal vertebrae.

Chcicken: 14 cervical, 7 thoracic, 12 or 13 lumbosacral, and 5 coccygeal.

11.46 First cleavage and axis formation in the developing mouse

The hypoblast forms on the side of the inner cell mass that is exposed to the blastocyst fluid.

The dorsal axis forms from those ICM cells that are in contact with the throphoblast and amnionic cavity.
