Which term is used for the outer cells of the human blastocyst?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Trophoblast

Rationale:

✓ The key concept is that the trophoblast forms the outer layer of the blastocyst and plays a vital role in implantation.

✓ These cells secrete enzymes that allow the blastocyst to embed in the uterine lining.

✓ The trophoblast later develops into structures that form part of the placenta.

✓ The embryonic disk develops into the embryo itself, while the neural plate forms the nervous system, and mesenchyme forms connective tissues.

✓ Thus, the correct term for the blastocyst’s outer layer is trophoblast.
