Antrum
ID the cell indicated by marker #10.
oocyte
ID the layer indicated by marker #11
Zona Pellucida
Name a function of the layer indicated by marker #11
- Species restricted binding of sperm to unfertilized eggs - specific protein interactions on the surface that only match with the receptors on sperm.
- Acrosomal Exocytosis - process that happens in the head of sperm cells when the sperm fuses with an egg
- Prevents polyspermy - prevents sperm from binding to a fertilized egg
