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 ]
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.
Oocytogenesis : third trimester primary Oocyte: diploid/46: 4C: Ootidogenesis (meiosis 1) (Folliculogenesis) -- polar body separated: Dictyate in prophase I until ovulation secondary Oocyte: haploid/23: 2C: Ootidogenesis (meiosis 2) -- polar body separated: Halted in metaphase II until fertilization Ootid: haploid/23: 1C: Maturation: Minutes ...

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]
Oocytogenesis is complete either before or shortly after birth." The Primary follicle I believe is the mass of cells including a Primary oocyte. Therefore, from my understanding, the primary follicle can not be a 'precursor' to the primary oocyte.
From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.
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]
