Oogenesis (/ ˌ oʊ. ə ˈ dʒ ɛ n ɪ s ɪ s /) or ovogenesis is the differentiation of the ovum (egg cell) into a cell competent to further develop when fertilized. [1] It is developed from the primary oocyte by maturation.
This is a list of roots, suffixes, and prefixes used in medical terminology, their meanings, and their etymologies. Most of them are combining forms in Neo-Latin and hence international scientific vocabulary. There are a few general rules about how they combine.
An immature ovum is a cell that goes through the process of oogenesis to become an ovum. It can be an oogonium , an oocyte , or an ootid . An oocyte, in turn, can be either primary or secondary, depending on how far it has come in its process of meiosis .
The dictyate or dictyotene [1] is a prolonged resting phase in oogenesis.It occurs in the stage of meiotic prophase I [2] in ootidogenesis.It starts late in fetal life [2] and is terminated shortly before ovulation by the LH surge. [3]
An oocyte (/ ˈ oʊ ə s aɪ t /, oöcyte, or ovocyte is a female gametocyte or germ cell involved in reproduction.In other words, it is an immature ovum, or egg cell.An oocyte is produced in a female fetus in the ovary during female gametogenesis.

These orange, plastic-wrapped slices are unparalleled in terms of meltability. For many, when it comes to making a grilled cheese or a smash burger , adding American is nearly non-negotiable.
Gametogenesis, the development of diploid germ cells into either haploid eggs or sperm (respectively oogenesis and spermatogenesis) is different for each species but the general stages are similar. Oogenesis and spermatogenesis have many features in common, they both involve: Meiosis; Extensive morphological differentiation
