"The blastocyst is formed of two layers of cells: the outside layer goes on to form the placenta, and the inner ball of totipotent cells goes on to form the embryo."

Isn't the ICM of the blastocyst pluripotent, not totipotent? If the whole blastula includes the ICM the outside it can be (as a whole) considered totipotent. Shouldn't it read: "The blastocyst is formed of two layers of cells: the outside layer goes on to form the placenta, and the inner ball of pluripotent cells goes on to form the embryo." Any thoughts or corrections?

We need a picture of an actual blastocyst. The article at baby doesn't have a cross-section diagram labled eyes, nose, heart, ear, etc. Junulo (talk) 17:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
