A member asked:

What name is the blastocyst given after it is attached to the uterus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Differentiation: According to "williams obstetrics", a popular standard text, once the blastocyst implants in the uterine lining it begins to differentiate into the embryonic disc (which develops into the embryo/fetus) and the tissues that become the placenta. Embryology is a complicated but fascinating topic!
