inner cell mass

Preferred Label : inner cell mass;

Uberon definition : A mass of cells that develop into the body of the embryo and some extraembryonic tissues;

Uberon related term : pluriblast; early embryoblast; embryoblast; ICM;

Uberon Development note : This structure forms in the earliest steps of development, before implantation into the endometrium of the uterus has occurred.The ICM lies within the blastocyst cavity and is entirely surrounded by the single layer of cells called trophoblast. [Wikipedia:Inner_cell_mass];

Uberon Homology note : A small sphere of cells known as the inner cell mass lies within the trophoblast (of all eutherian mammals).[well established][VHOG];
