What does MORULA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A solid ball of cells formed by the early, repeated division of a fertilized egg, before it hollows out into a blastula.
As a fertilized egg divides again and again without growing larger overall, the resulting cluster of cells is called a morula because its bumpy surface was thought to resemble a small mulberry. This stage comes after the first few cell divisions and before the embryo hollows out to form a blastula with a fluid-filled cavity. The term is used in embryology to describe this brief but universal early stage of development in many animals, including humans.
How MORULA is used
A specialist term from embryology, met mainly in biology textbooks and discussions of early development.
- By the fourth day, the embryo had reached the morula stage.
- Under the microscope, the morula looked like a tiny cluster of grapes.
- The morula develops into a blastula within a few more divisions.
- Researchers examined the morula before it implanted in the uterus.
- A morula contains far fewer cells than a fully formed embryo.
