Study Notes
Oogenesis
- Oogenesis is the process of egg production in the female body.
- Oogenesis occurs in the ovaries.
- The process of oogenesis begins during fetal development, where primordial germ cells differentiate into oogonia.
- Oogonia undergo mitosis to produce primary oocytes.
- Primary oocytes are arrested in prophase I until puberty.
- During each menstrual cycle after puberty, a primary oocyte completes meiosis I, producing a secondary oocyte and a polar body.
- The secondary oocyte is released during ovulation and is arrested in metaphase II.
- The secondary oocyte completes meiosis II only if fertilization occurs.
- The final product of oogenesis if fertilization occurs is a mature ovum and a polar body.
- FSH and LH hormones regulate the process of oogenesis.
- The mature ovum is released into the fallopian tube during ovulation.
- Only one functional gamete is produced from one primary oocyte during oogenesis.
- The main difference between oogenesis and spermatogenesis is the number of functional gametes produced.
Spermatogenesis
- Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm production in the male body.
- Spermatogenesis occurs in the testes.
- The precursor cell to sperm is called spermatogonium.
- Spermatogonia undergo mitosis to produce primary spermatocytes.
- Primary spermatocytes undergo meiosis I to produce secondary spermatocytes.
- Secondary spermatocytes undergo meiosis II to produce spermatids.
- Spermatids undergo spermiogenesis to produce mature spermatozoa.
- Leydig cells provide nourishment to developing sperm cells.
- Sperm cells gain motility in the epididymis.
- Four mature sperm are produced from one primary spermatocyte.
- LH stimulates the production of testosterone in males.
- Spermiogenesis is the process that converts spermatids into mature spermatozoa.
- Primary spermatocytes divide to form secondary spermatocytes during anaphase I of meiosis.
- The acrosome contains enzymes necessary for penetrating the egg.
- Spermatogonia are diploid.
Combined Concepts
- Both oogenesis and spermatogenesis are types of meiosis.
- A key difference between oogenesis and spermatogenesis is the number of gametes produced.
- Reductional division is the term that describes the first meiotic division that halves the chromosome number in both oogenesis and spermatogenesis.
- Crossing over occurs in prophase I of meiosis in both oogenesis and spermatogenesis.
- The ultimate purpose of both oogenesis and spermatogenesis is the production of gametes.
- Oogenesis begins before birth, while spermatogenesis begins at puberty.
- Meiosis is the cell division process involved in the production of gametes.
- Polar bodies are produced in oogenesis and are non-functional gametes.
- The epididymis is the structure common in both the male and female reproductive systems for the final maturation of gametes.
