Brief notes on Oogenesis with 3 phases

                                                                     Oogenesis


The process of formation of the female egg is known as oogenesis. The process takes place in ovaries. Generally,  in most higher organisms,  this process starts when the female fetal is developing in the womb. The whole process can be studied in three phases -    

  • Multiplication Phase 
  • Growth Phase 
  • Maturation Phase

  • Multiplication phase -  In the fetal embryo, the ovum mother cell or we can say oogonia start to multiply through mitosis and a  large number of diploid oogonia i.e., millions of oogonia are produced.


  • Growth Phase -   Like spermatogenesis, oogonia grow in their size and shape to form primary oocyte with a diploid number of chromosomes. If we talk about other higher animals except for human then this phase is one of the largest phases of oogenesis. During the growth phase, several changes occur in egg and all these changes are classified into two subcategories -
         -  previtellogenesis
         -  vitellogenesis
  1. Previtellogenesis -   A number of changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm like the number of nucleoplasm increases, the nucleolus increases. Likewise, the number of cell organelle increases in cytoplasm, specially Golgi body, ER, mitochondria become increases in large numbers. Later all these three organelles arrange in a ring-like structure around the nucleus and there is a formation of the Balbiani Vitelline Ring.  Space appears in between the plasma membrane of the egg and vitelline membrane called perivitelline space in which a fluid is filled called perivitelline fluid.

  2. Vitellogenesis -  Now egg starts storing food in the form of yolk. 


  • Maturation Phase - The primary oocyte starts its meiotic division in the fetal embryo but gets arrested in prophase the first stage of meiosis.   In this way, in a newborn girl, there is 2 lakh primary oocyte present in her ovary. When a girl attains a puberty stage than one of the ovaries stimulates only one primary oocyte for resuming meiosis first with the help of follicular stimulating hormone or FSH.  After completing meiosis first, the primary oocyte form two cell one is larger than another cell. Larger cell is known as a Secondary Oocyte and smaller one is known as Polar body. This secondary oocyte again started meiosis second but get arrested in metaphase second stage of meiosis. It then stops further and waits for the sperm to complete the further process of the meiotic division. After the entrance of sperm in the fallopian tube cell cycle again started by breaking the M phase promoting f tor or MPF and turning on the anaphase-promoting complex. Completion of meiosis second converts the secondary oocyte into a fertilized egg or zygote and also a second polar body.

Sycon Canal System With Diagram & Significance | Biology Blog

                                     Canal system in Sycon  A sea creature called a sycon, or scypha , is usually found clinging to rocks or other surfaces. These creatures have tube-shaped bodies that open outward with the help of a hole called an Osculum . They have tiny openings called Spiracles and Ostia all over their bodies to let water in. This water flows through canals inside their bodies and comes out through the Osculum, which is a larger opening used for breathing. We'll observe the shape of this canal system, why it is essential for those animals, type of canal system , and  its significance. The Sycon Type Canal system is the unique feature of the phylum Porifera . This system is also known as the  aquiferous canal system . This system supports the significant function of the body like nutrition, respiration, excretion, etc. History Overview -  Grant, a scientist from Scotland, spent a lot of time studying sponges. He was one of the first to really explain how t

                                             Aurelia  Aurelia aurita is a type of zooplankton found all over the world. They are see-through and don't have eyes, brains, or hearts. They're usually between 2 to 15 inches wide. Even though they prefer being alone, they get carried together in groups called Blooms by wind and water currents. At night, they look like they're moving through the water like jellyfish, which is why they're sometimes called " jellyfish ".  They have four reproductive organs surrounded by tentacles in their top part. Their body color changes based on what they eat, so they can be blue, pink, or other colors. Let's learn more about Aurelia in detail. Details Of Aurelia Diagram -  Body : The center of the diagram would display the jellyfish's bell-shaped body, often called the " umbrella. " Tentacles : Below the bell, you'd see long, hair-like tentacles extending outward. Oral Arms : The oral arms are  used for

                                             Types of Egg Hello guys! We'll examine a crucial area of zoology in this blog: different varieties of eggs. So let's define reproduction first before moving on to the subject. Reproduction is the biological process in which a parent is responsible to produce their offsprings which may be of their own kind. Reproduction is a must process for every individual for the continuing existence of the species. As we all know, there are many different species on the planet, and each of them has a unique method of egg production and inside the egg they contain yolk . The yolk is composed of proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, which are vital for the growth and development of the embryo.  Eggs can be classified into different types based on the amount of yolk they contain. l.  On the basis of the amount of Yolk - Depending on the quantity of yolks, eggs can be  Alecithal / Microlecithal / oligolecithal - The amount of yolk pr
