Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis

Front

What is Oogenesis?

Back

Oogenesis is the process of female gamete (ovum) formation in the ovaries, resulting in one ovum and three polar bodies.

Front

What is Spermatogenesis?

Back

Spermatogenesis is the process of male gamete (sperm) formation in the testes, producing four sperm cells from one spermatogonium.

Front

When does Oogenesis begin?

Back

Oogenesis begins before birth and continues until menopause.

Front

When does Spermatogenesis begin?

Back

Spermatogenesis begins at the onset of puberty.

Front

What are the main hormones involved in Spermatogenesis?

Back

The main hormones involved in spermatogenesis are Testosterone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH).

Front

What is the role of FSH in Spermatogenesis?

Back

FSH stimulates the Sertoli cells in the testes to support sperm production.

Front

What is the sequence of cell development in Spermatogenesis?

Back

The correct sequence is: spermatogonium -> primary spermatocyte -> secondary spermatocyte -> spermatid -> sperm.

Front

How many polar bodies are produced during Oogenesis?

Back

Three polar bodies are produced during Oogenesis.

Front

What type of cell division occurs in primary spermatocytes?

Back

Primary spermatocytes divide by meiosis to produce secondary spermatocytes.

Front

What is the end product of Oogenesis?

Back

The end product of Oogenesis is one functional ovum and three non-functional polar bodies.
