Question

What is trophectoderm?

Answer 1

Trophectoderm:

1. Trophectoderm (TE) is the first cell type to appear during development and is essential for placental mammals' viviparous method of reproduction.
2. It gets attached to the uterine endometrium at the time of implantation.
3. To build the placenta, TE also develops into trophoblast cells.
4. The creation of the blastocyst cavity, the production of important transcription factors, and the functions of cell polarity in the specification of the TE lineage are all crucial features of TE formation that are controlled by cellular and molecular mechanisms.
