Ovarian follicles during oogenesis

This is the written form of the video on youtube Ovarian follicles during oogenesis . Watch the video for better understanding. click here




Development of oocyte inside ovary: 

1. on the over wall the germinal epithelial cells develop into oogonium cells by mitotic cell division. It occurs before the birth of the female.

2. In puberty the oogonium develops into oocyte that is primary oocyte which gets surrounded by follicular cells in the ovary at first it gets surrounded by single layer of follicular cells . at this stage it is called primordial follicle .


3. now more layers of follicular cells develop surrounding the oocyte .These developing follicles are called growing follicle. 

4. Now the follicular cells form an antrum or cavity in between the cells and with this antrum the follicle is called the antral follicle.


5. the antral follicle develops into the most mature follicle that is Graafian follicle.

6. the Graafian follicle after maturation raptures and releases the ovum into the fallopian tube. This follicle is called ruptured follicle.

7. After rupturing the follicular cells without the oocyte forms Corpus luteum.

8. Corpus luteum eventually eventually degrades and form Corpus albicans.

 now let us look into the follicles in detail: 

1. primordial follicle:
in primordial follicle the primary oocyte is at the centre and follicular cells surround the oocyte with a single layer .


2. Growing follicle:
In growing follicle the oocyte remains at the centre and the follicular cells Surround the oocyte with more than one layer .


● Corona radiata : 
 The first layer of follicular cell surrounding the oocyte is called Corona radiata as its radius towards the oocyte.


● Zona pellucida :  
Zone between oocyte and Corona radiata is called zona pellucida.


3. Antral follicle:
in antral follicle the the follicular cells surrounding the oocyte forms a cavity in between the follicular cells.This antrum or cavity is filled with some fluid and with this antrum the follicle is called antral follicle.


4.Graafian follicle : 
The next developed follicle is Graafian follicle which is the most developed follicle. In this follicle the oocyte remains at the centre follicular cells surrounding the oocyte. Antrum increases with more liquid in it.  It has blood capillaries surrounding the follicle. The external layer where the capillaries are present is called the theca externa.


● Cumulus oophorus :
The cumulus oophorus is a cluster of cell (called cumulus cells) that surround the oocyte both in the ovarian follicle and after ovulation. The innermost layer of these cells is the corona radiata.

Entamoeba histolytica (parasitic protozoan) life cycle | Amoebic dysentry

Entamoeba histolytica  is a parasitic protozoan responsible for the disease amoebic dysentry. Entamoeba   histolytica life cycle  : There are two forms - 1. cyst  : non-mobile form  2. trophozoit :  Mobile form   A.Cyst entry :  Injection of food or water contaminated with Entamoeba histolytica cyst will move through the mouth down the oesophagus into the stomach. Cysts are resistant to gastric environment and passes through the stomach. B.Excystation : Each cyst can divide and produce 8 trophozoits the mobile form of Entamoeba histolytica in the small intestine.   C.Multiplication : The trophozoites will then move to colon of large intestine then multiply and colonizes. Entamoeba can cause 2 types of infection :  1.  non-invasive:  90% 2.  invasive  : 10%  1. Non-invasive : Trophozoits remain on the surface of mucus layer of colonic epithelium and multiplies by binary fission. This non-virulent form ...

  Symptoms : Most infected individuals have no symptoms . Paralytic disease 1%   high fever Intense muscle pain from spasm and weakness  loss of muscle reflexes  paralysis asymptomatic Affect larger proximal muscles specially legs  infants develop acute flaccid paralysis floppy baby syndrome  Diaphragm motor nerves are affected difficulty in  breathing Diagnosis: Besed on Polio virus recovery from stool sample throat swab  lumbar puncture cerebral fluid removed from Lamba Sach might have high white blood cells or poliovirus RNA Treatment: Pain medicines for muscle spasm bladder decompression  respiratory support for trouble breathing by Iron lung machine. Polio vaccine and post polio syndrome will be discussed in next video.
