Frog:
Primary oocytes incease in size about one thousand fold. Resume meiosis and arrest at ___ of second meiosis.
Soon they are ovulated into the ___ where ciliary movements of the coelom wall move secondary oocytes to the ____ of the ____.
While doing so ____ that function to protect the ocoyte and developing embryo from mechanical injury and infelction are added to aid fertilization.
They are then released into the ____ (uterus) for about one day until release through oviposition
