See Illust. under Invagination. In a more general sense, an ideal stage in embryonic development. See Gastraea..

Planula :: Planula (n.) In embryonic development, a vesicle filled with fluid, formed from the morula by the divergence of its cells in such a manner as to give rise to a central space, around which the cells arrange themselves as an envelope; an embryonic form intermediate between the morula and gastrula. Sometimes used as synonymous with gastrula..
