    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oocyte

    Diagram showing the reduction in number of the chromosomes in the process of maturation of the ovum; the process is known as meiosis Main article: Oogenesis The formation of an oocyte is called oocytogenesis, which is a part of oogenesis. [ 1 ]

  3. Oogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oogenesis

    Oogenesis starts with the process of developing primary oocytes, which occurs via the transformation of oogonia into primary [oocyte]s, a process called oocytogenesis. [11] From one single oogonium, only one mature oocyte will rise, with 3 other cells called polar bodies. Oocytogenesis is complete either before or shortly after birth.

  5. Ovarian follicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovarian_follicle

    An ovarian follicle is a roughly spheroid cellular aggregation set found in the ovaries.It secretes hormones that influence stages of the menstrual cycle.At the time of puberty, women have approximately 200,000 to 300,000 follicles, [1] [2] each with the potential to release an egg cell (ovum) at ovulation for fertilization. [3]

  6. Zona pellucida - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zona_pellucida

    The zona pellucida is a translucent matrix of cross-linked glycoprotein filaments that surrounds the mammalian oocyte and is 6.5–20 μm thick depending on the species. Its formation, which depends on a conserved zona pellucida-like (ZP) module that mediates the polymerization of egg coat components, [2] is critical to successful fertilization. [3]

    Close-up of a Schlumbergera flower, showing part of the gynoecium (specifically the stigma and part of the style) and the stamens that surround it. Plant reproductive morphology is the study of the physical form and structure (the morphology) of those parts of plants directly or indirectly concerned with sexual reproduction.

  8. Outline of human anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_human_anatomy

    Human anatomy is the scientific study of the morphology of the adult human. It is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy . Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by unaided vision.

  9. Folliculogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folliculogenesis

    During follicular development, primordial follicles undergo a series of critical changes in character, both histologically and hormonally. First they change into primary follicles and later into secondary follicles. The follicles then transition to tertiary, or antral, follicles. At this stage in development, they become dependent on hormones ...
