Unit 3 Flashcards
Process of cocyte formation
o0genesis
Goal of oogenesis
Produce egg w/ massive amount of cytoplasm
His the release of mature egg from the ovary
Ovulation
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) from yolk
sac endoderm migrate to and colonize
the genital ridge (developing ovary)
Then PGCs differentiate to oogonia
Then - Diploid oogonia undergo mitosis prior
to or shortly after parturition
Embryogenesis
Oogonia are called – when they undergo meiosis
Primary oocytes
At birth, all oocytes are arrested in -_ until –
Prophase of meiosis I
Ovulation.
Selected follicles grow in size and develop larger antral spaces at….
Sexual maturity
2 bodies of primary oocyte
Secondary oocyte and 1st polar body
Chromosome number is reduced from diploid to haploid in
Folliculogenesis
Meiosis I is completed after ovulation in what animal
Horse, dog
After ovulation, meiosis ii in secondary oocystes halts at – until fertilization
Metaphase Il
In fetus,- begins
Meiosis I
Donny childhood, –’ are inactive
Primary
During puberty – divide
primary oocytes
During fertilization, sperm enters –
Secondary oocyte
Consists of a primary oocyte and a
single layer of flattened follicular cells
Primordial follicle
Consists of a primary oocyte with a single layer
of cuboidal/columnar follicular cells
Primary follicle
-Consists of several layers of cuboidal/columnar follicular
cells, (membrana granulosa) which begin to secrete follicular fluid
-Secondary-vesicular follicle: presence of pockets of follicular fluid within the membrana granulosa
Secondary follicle
Death of a follicle at any stage in its development
Follicular atresia
