(Latin, morula = mulberry) An early stage in post-fertilization development when cells have rapidly divided to produce a solid mass of cells (12-15 cells) with a "mulberry" appearance. This stage is followed by formation of a cavity in this cellular mass blastocyst stage. In humans, morula stage of development occurs during the first week following fertilization.
