Question

The Reproductive Svstem: oogenesis and ovulation In what gland/organ are oocytes produced? What type of follicle, produced during embryonic stages of development, contains primary oocytes? How many chromosomes do primary oocytes contain? What hormone stimulates maturation of the follicle? As a primordial follicle develops into a primary follicle, what happens to the follicular cells that encase the oocyte? At the same time, a layer of glycoprotein forms between the follicular cells and oocyte; what is this layer called?

Explanation / Answer

Oocytes are produced in ovary.

Primordial follicles produced during embryonic stages has primary oocytes.

The primary oocytes contain 23 pairs of chromosomes ( 46)

Follicle stimulating hormone stimulates the maturation of follicle.

The cells develop into granulosa cells and will secrete progesterone after ovulation.

The thick glycoprotein layer that develops between the oocyte and follicular cells and is called zonna pellucida.
