    A) Polar body
    B) Ovum

  • Oogensis:
    • DIPLOID cells in the OVARY undergo MEIOSIS
    • to form numerous FOLLICLES
    • at the beginning of PUBERTY
    • under the influence of FSH,
    • ONE cell inside a follicle enlarges and undergoes the rest of meiosis
    • FOUR cells are produced, only ONE survives and matures to become the ovum
    • this occurs in a monthly cycle
  • LH and FSH stimulate the production of oestrogen and progesterone.
  • The corpus luteum secretes progesterone
  • The Graafian follicle secretes oestrogen.
  • During oogenesis 1 ovum and 3 polar bodies are produced.
