noun, plural morulas, morulae. [mawr-oo-lee, -yoo-] /ËmÉr ÊËli, -yÊ-/ (Show IPA). Embryology. 1. the mass of cells resulting from the cleavage of the ovum before the formation of a blastula. Origin of morula.
The morula is produced by a series of cleavage divisions of the early embryo, starting with the single-celled zygote. Once the embryo has divided into 16 cells, it begins to resemble a mulberry, hence the name morula (Latin, morus: mulberry).
