TranslationsMorula
morula[′mȯr·ə·lə] (embryology) A solid mass of blastomeres formed by cleavage of the eggs of many animals; precedes the blastula or gastrula, depending on the type of egg. (invertebrate zoology) A cluster of immature male gametes in which differentiation occurs outside the gonad; common in certain annelids. Morula a stage in the development of the embryo in multicellular animals, preceding the completion of the period of cleavage. In the morula stage, the embryo is a mass of cells (blastomeres) that resembles the aggregate fruit (“berry”) of the raspberry, blackberry, or mulberry. The morula stage is followed by the blastula stage. morula
morula [mor´u-lah] a solid mass of cells (blastomeres) resembling a mulberry, formed by cleavage of a zygote (fertilized ovum).mor·u·la (mōr'ū-lă), The solid mass of blastomeres resulting from the early cleavage divisions of the zygote. In oocytes with little yolk, the morula is a spheroid mass of cells; in forms with considerable yolk, the configuration of the morula stage is greatly modified. [Mod. L. dim. of L. morus, mulberry] morula (môr′yə-lə, môr′ə-)n. pl. moru·lae (-lē′) The spherical embryonic mass of blastomeres formed before the blastula and resulting from cleavage of the fertilized ovum.

[Mod. L. dim. of L. morus, mulberry]morula An early stage in the development of the embryo at which it consists of a solid spherical ball of apparently identical cells.morula a solid ball of cells resulting from cleavage of a fertilized ovum. It is formed of a mass of BLASTOMERES which subsequently form a BLASTULA.morula
