The blastocoel is the fluid-filled cavity of the blastocyst that plays an important part in gastrulation later on. The blastocyst is the ball of cells that forms about 5 days after an egg is fertilized. It consists of about 150 cells and has a trophoblast (outer layer), blastocoel (cavity), and inner cell mass, which is an area of about 30 cells that is from where the main structures of the fetus are formed.
Blastocyst formation
When an embryo (fertilized egg) reaches the uterus, it is a hollow ball of about 100 cells called a blastocyst.
They make up the placenta that provides the blastocyst with nutrients.
Blastocyst. Each of those cells will eventually become a different part of the baby's body as they each multiply, creating muscle, bone, and organ tissues.

The blastocoel has two main functions. 1.It permits cell migration during gastrulation. 2.It prevents the animal cells, destined to become ectoderm, from premature induction by the underlying vegetal cells into mesoderm.
