Oogenesis and Folliculogenesis Dr. Dhafer M. Aziz, BVMS, MSc, PhD Professor, Department of Surgery and Theriogenology College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Mosul, Mosul, Iraq http://orcid.org/0000-0002-6283-5172 https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Dhafer_Aziz2 Female Fertility | 4th year 2019 Oogenesis and Folliculogenesis Oogenesis Early in embryogenesis, primordial germ cells migrate from the yolk sac endoderm to the genital ridge (developing ovary) where they take up residence and are called oogonia. These diploid oogonia undergo several mitotic divisions prior to or shortly after parturition, thus providing the developing ovary with a large supply of future ova (eggs). When oogonia begin the first meiotic division, they are called primary oocytes. Primary oocytes are arrested in prophase of Meiosis until the female reaches sexual maturity. They grow in size during this arrested phase, but do not divide. When the female reaches sexual maturity and under the influence of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), a small number of primary oocytes are stimulated to continue through Meiosis. During this process the number of chromosomes is reduced from the diploid number (2N) to the haploid number (1N). The chromosomes are divided equally, most of the cytoplasm stays with the oocyte. The smaller polar body contains half the chromosomes but only a small amount of cytoplasm and will eventually degenerate. After a primary oocyte completes the meiotic division, it is called a secondary oocyte (1N) Ovarian follicles are composed of: The developing gamete Associated follicular cells. There are three stages in the development of follicles: 1. pre-ovulation 2. ovulation 3. post-ovulation. Femal Fertility | Oogenesis and Folliculogenesis | Dr. Dhafer M. Aziz Page | 1 Pre-ovulation: Development of Follicles in the Ovary. The primordial follicle consists of a primary oocyte and a single layer of flattened follicular cells. The primary follicle consists of a primary oocyte with a single layer of cuboidal/columnar follicular cells. The secondary follicle consists of several layers of cuboidal/columnar follicular cells, now collectively called the membrana granulosa which begin to secrete follicular fluid. The Tertiary Follicle, the presence of pockets of follicular fluid within the membrana granulosa. As the follicle continues to develop, the separate pockets fuse to form one large pocket of fluid called the follicular antrum. The mature follicle, is also called the pre-ovulatory follicle or Graafian follicle, has all of the components of the secondary-vesicular follicle but is much larger and contains one single large antrum of follicular fluid. Femal Fertility | Oogenesis and Folliculogenesis | Dr. Dhafer M. Aziz Page | 2 As the oocyte and follicular cells are growing and developing in the ovary, the stromal cells differentiate and develop into the theca interna and theca externa cells. As a follicle goes from a primary to a secondary follicle, the stromal cells immediately surrounding the follicle differentiate into the theca folliculi. The cells closest to the follicle become the theca interna cells, round, foamy cells that secrete androgens, including testosterone. These two “male” hormones are converted by the granulosa cells to estrogens. The stomal cells farther away from the developing follicle become the theca externa cells, fibroblast-like cells arranged around the follicle outside the theca interna cells.

    KNOWLEDGE AREA: Life Processes in Plants and Animals TOPIC 2.1: Reproduction in Vertebrates Human Reproduction Introduction Structure of Male Reproductive System Structure of Female Reproductive System Main Changes that occur during Puberty Gametogenesis Menstrual Cycle Fertilization and Embryonic Development Implantation and Development Gestation Role of Placenta There are 2 types of reproduction. These are… 1. Sexual and 2. Asexual reproduction We are studying reproduction in humans. Therefore we need to know what is sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is reproduction that occurs with the use of gametes. In humans fertilization occurs during sexual reproduction. This means a haploid sperm fuses with a haploid egg to form a diploid zygote. The zygote has 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes therefore it is called diploid. So how many chromosomes does the egg and sperm have? The sperm has 23 chromosomes The egg has 23 chromosomes The zygote then divides by mitosis to produce a large number of identical cells. All the cells have the same number of chromosomes and identical DNA. Some of these cells become differentiated. This means that the cells undergo physical and chemical changes to perform specialized function. Therefore these cells are adapted for their functions. This is how the body parts are formed. Therefore the zygote eventually develops into a fully formed adult. Sexual maturity occur between 11-15. It is known as puberty. During puberty meiosis occurs in the male and female reproductive organs to produce the gametes. Since the gametes are produced by meiosis, each gamete will have a haploid number of chromosomes and each egg or sperm will be genetically different from the other.

A major factor influencing egg quality is proper yolk formation, as most fishes are oviparous and the developing offspring are entirely dependent on stored egg yolk for nutritional sustenance. These maternally derived nutrients consist of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and ions that are transported from the liver to the ovary by lipoprotein particles including vitellogenins. The yolk composition may be influenced by broodstock diet, husbandry, and other intrinsic and extrinsic conditions. In addition, a number of other maternal factors that may influence egg quality also are stored in eggs, such as gene transcripts, that direct early embryonic development.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The genetic, endocrine, and metabolic mechanisms underlying female reproduction are numerous and sophisticated, displaying complex functional evolution throughout a woman’s lifetime. This vital course may be systematized in three subsequent stages: prenatal development of ovaries and germ cells up until in utero arrest of follicular growth and the ensuing interim suspension of gonadal function; onset of reproductive maturity through puberty, with reinitiation of both gonadal and adrenal activity; and adult functionality of the ovarian cycle which permits ovulation, a key event in female fertility, and dictates concurrent modifications in the endometrium and other ovarian hormone-sensitive tissues. Indeed, the ultimate goal of this physiologic progression is to achieve ovulation and offer an adequate environment for the installation of gestation, the consummation of female fertility. Strict regulation of these processes is important, as disruptions at any point in this evolution may equate a myriad of endocrine- metabolic disturbances for women and adverse consequences on offspring both during pregnancy and postpartum.
