uptake from surroundings also in mammals?

Oocytes/eggs in some species like insects take up a lot of material supplied by surrounding cells. Is that the case in mammals also? That is, does an oocyte take up material from maternal cells and from the blood stream that may even have a different genetic makeup? -- Jakob

Section on Oocytogenesis

I find the terminology in this section confusing and I am lead to believe incorrect.

"Oogenesis starts with the process of developing oogonia, which occurs via the transformation of primordial follicles (Should this be Primordial Germ Line cells) into primary oocytes, a process called oocytogenesis.[2] Oocytogenesis is complete either before or shortly after birth."

The Primary follicle I believe is the mass of cells including a Primary oocyte. Therefore, from my understanding, the primary follicle can not be a 'precursor' to the primary oocyte.

I would appreciate any feedback in regards to this question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajberry22 (talk • contribs) 06:30, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I find this article to be poorly written, but understandable. Speciate 03:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)speciate[reply]

''''''I find it really interisting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''''' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.121.32.135 (talk • contribs)

well me to i find that it is interisting

I am considering developing this page further as part of an educational assignment in Fall of 2013. If someone else is also working on this, please send me a message and let me know soon, so we don’t duplicate initial efforts in page development. Quigend (talk) 22:18, 6 October 2013 (UTC) The oogenesis in non-mammals should be expanded, a section about hormonal control and environmental influences on oogenesis should be added (just like in the spermatogenesis wiki article), and the role of apoptosis during stages of oogenesis should be included in this article.

Female version of spermiogenesis?

See the table in this article and compare with spermatogenesis. Is there any corresponding processes to spermiogenesis? It's not oogenesis, because that's the whole process, corresponding to spermatogenesis. Mikael Häggström 10:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone clean this up?

most of this page seems to be about human oogenesis, perhaps a separate page for that topic?

The oogenesis in mammals section has numerous statements that are human specific such as chromosome numbers, timing during development, etc. Is there someone more knowledgeable that can differentiate the facts that are common to all mammals and the specific facts about humans? (unfortunately I can only pick out the most glaring mistakes). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rddb (talk • contribs) 18:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a paper on oogenesis in the adult female here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16034186 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.169.128.207 (talk) 13:55, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Centrosome Role in Oogenesis

I haven't been able to verify the statement

"in animal life cycles oogenesis is done completely without the aid of spindle-coordinating centrosomes" (by Sugemax)

If someone can provide any references on this question it'd be very helpful to me. Thanks. Heathmoor (talk) 23:37, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, it's correct. I could find several reliable sources backing up this particular trait. It's likely to be related to the paternal contribution of the centrosomes in most animal species. In those such as in rodents in which it's been shifted, the centrosome disassembly may be the remaining vestigial trait of a previous necessary requirement. Heathmoor (talk) 01:45, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please cite these sources. The statement remains unverified in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sxoa (talk • contribs) 07:28, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency

The verbal description under the table at Oogenesis#Oogenesis_in_mammals appears to be correct; there are normally only two polar bodies because the first is discarded without dividing. But the diagram shows three polar bodies. Can someone confirm and sort this if I'm right? Peter coxhead (talk) 23:09, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Having checked some sources, I'm pretty sure I'm correct, so I've altered the caption of the diagram. Peter coxhead (talk) 12:19, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Oogenesis. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Reference fix needed

I fixed a reference that had been entered so the heading for the References section works properly again. I believe someone was probably trying to insert this Cho WK, Stern S, Biggers JD. 1974. Inhibitory effect of dibutyryl cAMP on mouse oocyte maturation in vitro. J Exp Zool.187:383-386 as an additional reference where the current 5th one is, regarding cAMP. But I'm not sure so someone familiar with the content should confirm and if so move it to be an appropriate inline reference or remove it.
