In the human morula, tight junctions are found between all cell pairs, at all levels of cellular apposition, associated with underlying masses of microfilaments. In cavitating morula, lanthanum tracer gained access to the intracellular spaces, except at the intersections with nascent extracellular cavities, marking the first assembly of zonulae occludentes. Presumptive trophectoderm cells contained vacuoles and larger cavities often associated with secondary lysosome-like bodies. Since the vacuoles and intracellular and extracellular cavities contain electron-dense polygranules of about 23 nm diameter, they may have common origins. In trophectoderm cells of the early blastocytes, the large intracellular vacuoles and cavities were absent, and the zonulae occludentes were located apically. Mechanisms for nascent blastocoele formation are discussed.
