oocyte

Thus, the time as a secondary oocyte is measured in days.

Upon penetration, the oocyte is said to have become activated.

The younger the child, the larger the oocyte pool, and the later the menopause.

However, technology (especially oocyte donation) provides the opportunity of pregnancy in these patients.

There was a delay of 1-3 months before fertilization, as oocyte development did not begin until December.

Nutrients and developmental control molecules move from the nurse cells into the oocyte.

An oocyte or early-stage embryo has no symptoms of disease.

A possible explanation is the rate of oocyte depletion.

The primary role of the follicle is oocyte support.

It is secreted by both the oocyte and the follicular cells.

Each month, one of the ovaries releases a mature egg, known as an oocyte.

An oocyte has just one set of chromosomes.

Laboratories have developed grading methods to judge oocyte and embryo quality.

In addition, it provides protection for the oocyte.

A follicle is an anatomical structure in which the primary oocyte develops.

The nucleus of such an oocyte is called a germinal vesicle (see picture).

Patients usually start progesterone medication after egg (also called oocyte) retrieval.

It is surrounded by fimbriae, which help in the collection of the oocyte.

For some species, such as mouse, a drill is used to pierce the outer layers of the oocyte.

We then tested whether eliminating Ca 2+from the oocyte media would affect this ratio.

Only one of these four haploid nuclei becomes the egg cell (oocyte).

The second step is a signal from the ventral follicle cells back to the oocyte.

The oocyte genome is activated and genes become transcribed.
