What is the cause of late implantation of an embryo in humans? How can we improve implantation rates with IVF? Embryo implantation in humans After fertilization the human embryo begins a 4 day long journey down the fallopian tube and into the uterus.
Hatching human blastocyst Hatching blastocyst embryo The shell of the embryo zona pellucida is at the lower left Details about blastocyst implantation The trophectoderm cells develop the ability to attach to the endometrial lining of the uterus. Average first detection of HCG was at an embryonic age of 7.
The inferred window of implantation may extend from day 18 to day 24 of an idealized cycle. Implantation in some other mammals There are some very interesting variations among different mammalian species. Mohamad Irani is a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist.

Fluid collects between the trophoblast and the greater part of the inner cell mass, and thus the morula, is converted into the blastodermic vesicle also called the blastocyst or blastula. The inner cell mass remains in contact with the trophoblast at one pole of the ovum.
This is named the embryonic pole, since it indicates the location where the future embryo will develop. In the case of monozygotic twins derived from one zygote , a zygote divides into two separate cells embryos at the first cleavage division. Monozygotic twins can also develop from two inner cell masses. A rare occurrence is the division of a single inner cells mass giving rise to twins. However, if one inner cell mass divides incompletely, the result is conjoined twins.
Dizygotic twins is the development of two embryos from two different zygotes. The blastocyst forms early in embryonic development and has two layers that form the embryo and placenta. In humans, the blastocyst is formed approximatelyy five days after fertilization. This stage is preceded by the morula. The morula is a solid ball of about 16 undifferentiated, spherical cells. As cell division continues in the morula, the blastomeres change their shape and tightly align themselves against each other.
This is called compaction and is likely mediated by cell surface adhesion glycoproteins. The blastocyst possesses an inner cell mass ICM , or embryoblast, which subsequently forms the embryo, and an outer layer of cells, or trophoblast, which later forms the placenta.
The trophoblast surrounds the inner cell mass and a fluid-filled, blastocyst cavity known as the blastocoele or the blastocystic cavity. The embryoblast is the source of embryonic stem cells and gives rise to all later structures of the adult organism. The trophoblast combines with the maternal endometrium to form the placenta in eutherian mammals. Blastocyst : The blastocyst possesses an inner cell mass from which the embryo will develop, and an outer layer of cells, called the trophoblast, which will eventually form the placenta.
Before gastrulation, the cells of the trophoblast become differentiated into two strata. The outer stratum forms a syncytium, which is a layer of protoplasm studded with nuclei that shows no evidence of subdivision into cells termed the syncytiotrophoblast.
The inner layer, the cytotrophoblast or layer of Langhans, consists of well-defined cells. As already stated, the cells of the trophoblast do not contribute to the formation of the embryo proper; they form the ectoderm of the chorion and play an important part in the development of the placenta. On the deep surface of the inner cell mass, a layer of flattened cells, called the endoderm, is differentiated and quickly assumes the form of a small sac, called the yolk sac.
Spaces appear between the remaining cells of the mass and, by the enlargement and coalescence of these spaces, a cavity called the amniotic cavity is gradually developed. The floor of this cavity is formed by the embryonic disk, which is composed of a layer of prismatic cells called the embryonic ectoderm. This layer is derived from the inner cell mass and lies in opposition to the endoderm.
Implantation is the very early stage of pregnancy at which the embryo adheres to the wall of the uterus and begins to form the placenta. Implantation is the very early stage of pregnancy during which the embryo embeds into the wall of the uterus. At this stage of prenatal development, the embryo is a blastocyst. It is by this adhesion that the fetus receives oxygen and nutrients from the mother to be able to grow. In humans, implantation of a blastocyst occurs between 6 to 12 days after ovulation.
In preparation for implantation, the blastocyst sheds its outside layer, the zona pellucida, which binds sperm during fertilization. The zona pellucida degenerates and decomposes, and is replaced by a layer of underlying cells called the trophoblast.
The trophoblast will give rise to the placenta after implantation. During implantation, the trophoblast differentiates into two distinct layers: the inner cytotrophoblast, and the outer syncytiotrophoblast. This content does not have an English version.
