What is cleavage in anatomy?

Answer 1

Cleavage is a mineral's tendency to break along flat, parallel surfaces (cleavage planes). Excellent cleavage direction reflects light in one direction, it is considered basal, or book cleavage. Biotite and muscovite have excellent cleavage. Good cleavage reflects light in one direction from a set of many small flat surfaces, augite and gypsum are examples. Poor cleavage directions reflect light form surfaces that are hard to detect, and this is true for sulfur.

Answer 2

Cleavage in anatomy refers to the process of cell division within the zygote that leads to formation of blastomeres during early embryonic development. These blastomeres eventually form a solid ball of cells called a morula which further develops into a blastocyst. Cleavage is essential for the growth and differentiation of cells in the developing embryo.

Answer 3

in the development of an human embryo, the fertilized egg travels and once fertilization has occured the fertilized egg or zygote undergoes repeated mitotic cell division called the cleavage.

Answer 4

Usually refers to the space between a womans breasts when they are pressed together with a bra or something.
