Bilaminar Embryo: Embryology Quiz
(210).jpg "Bilaminar Embryo: Embryology Quiz - Quiz")
What do you know about the Bilaminar Embryo? The two-layered embryo describes the inner cell mass separating to form an initial two-layered structure. In human development, this occurs during the second week. The epiblast layer will then develop most of the embryo. Recreating the human embryo at implantation is essential for a successful pregnancy. This fascinating quiz will explain to you about the bilaminar embryo.
