Oogenesis that is formation of ovum of female gamete :

Oogenesis starts in the ovary of the female foetus when it is in the womb of her mother. if we zoom into the female reproductive system of the foetus we can see in the ovaries of the female foetus the oogenesis has already started.

the germinal epithelial cells inside the ovary wall of the foetus starts dividing by mitotic cell division and forms oogonium. This oogonium cells goes through growth phase and forms the primary oocyte inside the ovary of the female foetus.

now the primary oocyte goes through meiosis 1 it gets arrested in prophase 1 of meiosis cell division 1 and stops here until the female foetus borns and becomes a mature woman and comes to the puberty. When it reaches the puberty inside the ovary of the matured female, the cell which got arrested in prophase 1, the primary oocyte, starts dividing again and complete the meiosis 1 and forms secondary oocyte and one polar body that is the first polar body.

now the secondary oocyte goes through Meotic2 cell division. In this process it gets arrested again in metaphase2 of meiotic cell division 2. It remains arrested until it reaches ovulation and fertilization. During ovulation the secondary oocyte is ovulated. Sperm meets the seconday oocyte and the nuclei of sperm enters in the seconday oocyte and waits for the completion of meotic 2 cell division of secondary oocyte to become ootid or ovum. During fertilization The primary oocyte completes the meotic2 cell division in presence of male pronuclei and after completing meotic2 cell division it becomes female pronuclei and fuses with the male pronuclei completing the fertilization process.

Meanwhile seconday oocyte also gives rise to a polar body and 1st polar gives rise to 2 more polar bodies.

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 feeds on bacteria and detritus in lumen. D. Encystation : The trophozoites wil

Fasciola Hepatica | Liver Fluke |

Mode of infection : Infection of freshwater plants with metacercariae or by drinking water with floating metacercariae example lettuce green salad. Definite host : human Intermediate host : freshwater snails Reservoir host : sheep Infective form : metacercariae Pathogenicity : While passing through the liver the large form causes hepatitis damage. may cause abscesses of lungs , body wall on fibrotic lesions. produces severe parenchymal disease of liver for which the parasite is called liver fluke and disease is known as liver rot. necrosis of liver anaemia common inflammation and damage of bile duct. respiratory blockage of lungs Hyperplasia Symptoms : abdominal pain Anemia prolonged high fever Nausea Jaundice Lethargy Tenderness Hepatomegaly fatty food intolerance Treatment : B ithional : Highly Effective large dose high cost long period Triclabendazole : easier to use one to two oral doses in 24 hours Surgery Control : people residing in areas f

Poliomyelitis | polio | polio virus

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.
