Study Notes
Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis
- The total number of female germ cells in the ovary is approximately 7 million in the fifth month of prenatal development, decreasing to about 2 million at birth, and to about 400 at puberty. Fewer than 500 oocytes will be ovulated.
- Spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis, the process of sperm development, takes approx. 74 days, with variations possible.
- Sperm viability is about 4-5 days.
- Oocyte viability is about 30-40 hours.
- Average semen ejaculate volume is about 3 mL, containing 40-100 million sperm per mL.
- Semen contains prostaglandins and fructose, which supports sperm energy. ATP is also a source of energy for sperm cells.
Gametogenesis
- Gametogenesis is the process of converting germ cells into gametes (sperm and eggs/oocytes).
- Primordial germ cells form in the epiblast during embryonic development's second week, then migrate to the yolk sac wall, and ultimately to gonads.
- Reduction of chromosome numbers and differentiation are part of gametogenesis.
- The process of spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis takes approximately 74 days with variations possible, and the process of Oogenesis starts before birth and finishes in the process of fertilization.
Oogenesis Details
- Oogenesis is the formation of female gametes (oocytes).
- Oogonia (female germ cells) differentiate into primary oocytes.
- Primary oocytes begin meiosis I during fetal development, but arrest in prophase I.
- Oogenesis begins before birth, with oocytes stopping in prophase I until puberty.
Spermatogenesis Details
- Spermatogenesis is the formation of male gametes (sperm).
- Spermatogonia (male germ cells) undergo mitosis and develop into primary spermatocytes.
- Spermatogenesis begins at puberty in the formation of primary spermatocytes.
Spermiogenesis Details
- Spermatids differentiate into sperm cells (spermatozoa), in a process called spermiogenesis.
- The acrosome, a cap-like structure containing enzymes, forms on the head of the sperm during spermiogenesis.
- The nucleus condenses and the tail develops in the sperm formation process called spermiogenesis.
Additional Concepts
- Polyspermy prevention: Cortical granules release enzymes to harden the zona pellucida, preventing polyspermy.
- Fertilization: Sperm fertilizes the oocyte.
- Cleavage: Zygote divides to form morula, then blastocyst with inner cell mass (embryoblast) and trophoblast.
- Gastrulation: Formation of germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm).
- Neurulation: Formation of the neural tube from the ectoderm.
