Oogenesis
and the Ovarian Cycle
1. Oogonia start oogenesis but are arrested as primary oocytes in prophase I
2. At birth, ovaries contain about 1.5 million primordial follicles
3. During childhood, ovaries are
inactive
and some primordial follicles
degenerate
(atresia)
4. From puberty to menopause, females show a
monthly
reproductive cycle
5.
Follicular
phase (days 1-13)
6. Ovulation occurs on day 14
7.
Luteal
phase (days 15-28)
View source
