Morula
Question 1. Meckel’s cartilage.
Answer:
Meckel’s cartilage:
- It is the cartilage of the first arch.
- At 6th week of development, this cartilage extends as a solid hyaline cartilaginous rod, surrounded by a fibro cellular capsule, from the developing ear region to the midline of the fused mandibular processes.
- The two cartilages of each side do not meet at the midline but are separated by a thin band of mesenchyme.
- It has a close relationship with the development of the trigeminal nerve beginning at two-thirds of the way along the entire length.
- On the lateral aspect of Meckel’s cartilage, during the sixth week of IU life, a condensation of mesenchyme occurs forming the division of the inferior alveolar nerve.
- At 7 weeks intramembranous ossification begins in this condensation and then spreads anteriorly up to the middle and posteriorly up to the lingula.

Question 2. Morula.
Answer:
Morula
- After fertilization of the ovum, a series of cell divisions gives rise to an egg cell mass known as the morula.
- It looks like mulberry.
- Fluid seeps into the morula, and the cells realign themselves to form blastocysts,
- Two cell populations are distinguished within the blastocyst.
