5. Blastocyst comprises two types of cells that transform into embryos they are outer trophoblast and inner cell mass (ICM).
6. The blastocyst is a kind of cell seen only in mammals.

Type of cells are in a blastocyst are:

Trophoblast :

1. Trophoblast referred to the layer of cells on the outside of the mammalian blastula.
2. It is the outer layer of the blastocyst.
3. It develops the chorion.
4. They consist of tight cells.
5. Its major function is the nourishment of the embryo by forming the major part of the placenta.

Inner cell mass:

1. Inner cell mass refers innermost layer of the blastocyst.
2. It develops the embryo.
3. They consist of rounded cells.
4. Forms the body of the embryo.
