Q

Oogenesis

A

2 million primary oocytes present in the ovaries at birth, only ~40,000-survivie until puberty.

400 (1 per menstrual cycle) are ovulated. Primary oocytes remain in prophase and do not finish their first meiotic division before puberty is reached.

At puberty, one activated primary oocyte produces two haploid cells asymmetric cell division The first polar body The secondary oocyte

The secondary oocyte arrests in metaphase II and is ovulated If penetrated by sperm the second oocyte completes meiosis II, One large ovum (the functional gamete) A tiny second polar body

Q

Describe spermatogenesis

A

Spermatogonia (diploid)

Spermiogenesis:

  • formation of acrosome (penetration enzymes)
  • condensation of nucleus
  • formation of neck, middle piece, and tail
  • shedding of most of the cytoplasm that is phagocytized by Sertoli cells

114
Modifications of collagen in ER and golgi
The signal peptide on the N-terminal is dissolved, and the molecule is now known as **propeptide** (not procollagen). **Hydroxylation** of lysines and prolines on propeptide by the enzymes prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase (to produce hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine) occurs to aid crosslinking of the alpha peptides. It is this enzymatic step that requires **vitamin C** as a cofactor. In **scurvy**, the lack of hydroxylation of **prolines and lysines** causes a looser triple helix. **Glycosylation** occurs by adding either glucose or galactose **monomers** onto the hydroxyl groups that were placed onto **lysines,** but not on prolines. From here the hydroxylated and glycosylated propeptide twists towards the left very tightly and then three propeptides will form a triple helix. This molecule, now known as procollagen (not propeptide) is composed of a twisted portion (center) and two loose ends on either end. At this point the **procollagen** is packaged into a transfer vesicle destined for the golgi apparatus. In Golgi, polymers of sugars are added

119
How do digestive enzymes get diverted to secretory vesicles for regulated secretion?
