Blastocyst implantation, diagram
Blastocyst implantation. Diagram of the blastocyst (lower right), a cellular stage that occurs during human (and all mammalian) reproduction, five days after fertilisation. It is the stage between the morula and the gastrula. During this stage, implantation (upper left) takes place on the wall of the uterus (endometrium, orange). The outer tropoblast layer (light grey) implants to form the placenta (purple). The inner cell mass (darker grey) will form the embryo. At right, the chorion (red), yolk sac (right, black), amniotic cavity (left, black), amnion (left, light blue), embryonic disk (right, light blue), and blood spaces (pink) are also shown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate process of blastocyst implantation during human reproduction. The diagram highlights the various stages and components involved in this crucial developmental phase, which occurs five days after fertilization. In the lower right corner, we see the blastocyst itself, a cellular stage situated between the morula and gastrula. As it reaches this stage, implantation takes place on the uterine wall (endometrium), as depicted in the upper left section colored orange. The light grey outer tropoblast layer implants to form the placenta, represented by its striking purple hue. Meanwhile, within the darker grey inner cell mass lies immense potential for life - it will eventually develop into an embryo. The image also provides additional insights into embryonic development. The chorion is shown in red while adjacent structures like yolk sac (right) and amniotic cavity (left) are displayed in black. The amnion appears as a delicate shade of light blue while both embryonic disk and blood spaces are depicted using soft pink tones. This visually stunning artwork not only captures our fascination with new life but also serves as a valuable educational tool for understanding reproductive biology at a cellular level. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate nature's remarkable ability to create and nurture life within the female reproductive system.
