| blastocyst |
An embryo that is approximately five days old and consists of some 100 cells that form an outer layer surrounding a fluid core. The outer cells develop into the placenta, which protects the fetus created from the inner cells. Blastocysts are used in five-day in vitro fertilization transfers, typically allowing for the replacement of two embryos instead of three or four. This larger number is customary when embryos are transferred on the third day of development.
