What is the definition or description of: blastocyst?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Early development: We use this term for one of the early phases after fertilization, in which the mass of cells produced by the division of the fertilized egg has acquired a central cavity, making it hollow, and one can tell which cells will become embryo and which placenta.
