Does anyone know how to learn the stages of gastrulation and blastulation?

I'd crack open my Biology book or A&P book, or do a google search.

Ah, sorry lol...didn't understand what he was asking.

For morula...I just think of a soccer ball, just a bunch of cells packed into a cell. Blastula think of shooting a hole straight through the center...since the center is hollow, and then the gastrula is when the cell kind of folds in on itself, making three layers.

I can relate to BUperson...I'm having a hard time just remembering what happens...I keep reviewing...need to come up with some sort of a mnemonic...anyone have any ideas besides the obvious that the genius above stated

1. morula ("more" in the sense of solid ball of cells)
2. blastula ("blasted" a hole into the cells...hollow ball of cells)
3. gastrula (3rd one so 3 layers of cells)

Maybe not the best, but for some reason that helped me out...
