Answer 3

your question seems incorrect.

Follicles are present in "Ovaries" from which some mature to form "ova" or "eggs"

Answer 4

Yes, but there is got a picture with follicels and spermcells.

Answer 5

oh
ok
so, this Egg is a mature follicle

Answer 6

I don't understand how foliclles can be in the oviduct.

Answer 7

and the germcell in in this follicle. When this "oocyte" is released during a menstrual cycle, the whole structure contains the nutients required to sustain the "germ cell" within it till the cycle completes and the egg is washed out of the uterus

Answer 8

why not?
sperm only need the head to fertilize. but they have a mitochondrion only to help in motion.
An egg has so many functions to do, it has to recognize the uterine wall, embed iwthin it, make the necessary preparations for the possible fertilization

Answer 9

Look at this picture.

Answer 10

@electrokid

Answer 11

Is that an
egg in the oviduct with follicles?

Answer 12

in the oviduct is a follicle that has the egg

Answer 13

But, an egg only needs one follicel? why he got more?

Answer 14

oviduct = the tube that "connects" ovaries with the uterus
follicle = a capsule that contains the egg
egg = egg

ovaries contain numerous immature follicles. Every menstrual cycle, one of these follicles develops to contain an egg and leaves the ovaries and travels to the uterus. There it waits to get fertilized. If it does, well and good. otherwise, it leaves the body as a dead cell

Answer 15

Yes, but that egg is already in the oviduct?

Answer 16

the follicle development is a specific sequence called as folliculogenesis.

Answer 17

egg is In the follicle. That follicle is in the oviduct

Answer 18

the diagram that you are looking at is after the follicle matured, left the ovary and landed in the oviduct

Answer 19

on its way to the uterus

Answer 20

Hmm, in the ovary eggs are created from follicles? And the egg goes to the oviduct, why does the egg in the oviduct than have follicels, because it's already and egg, and do't need follicles anymore?

Answer 21

eggs DO NEED follicles till the end

after fertilization, the follicle develops to form the yolk sac and houses the embryo.

Answer 22

a small cell in the follicle develops to the Egg
Follicle is a capsule

Answer 23

Okay, and why does an egg got 2 polar bodies?

Answer 24

how many cells do you get at the end of Meiosis?

Answer 25

One egg and two polar bodies.

Answer 26

NO

Answer 27

Meiosis gives you "4" daughter cells.

Answer 28

That is for the spermcells?

Answer 29

no Meiosis if to create ANY germcell. sperm or egg same process.
After that we have cell differentiation. This is what separates the things.

Answer 30

in case of female germcells,
the secondary oocyte differentiates un-equally. The "egg" gets the major cytoplasm.
the other "3" daugher cells get small portions.
usually one daughter cell does not get enough nourishment and withers away. The remaining two cells become helper cells for the egg and help during embryogenesis. These two remaining cells are called as "polar bodies" because they are present on the two opposite poles of the follicle.

Thx!
