(wikipic of “human ovum” observed fresh in the “liquor folliculi”)
(the “zona pellucida” is seen as a thick clear girdle surrounded by the cells of the “corona radiata”)
(the “egg” resembles our “sun”)
(especially its ‘corona’)
(aka “outer layer”)
(the egg itself shows a ‘central granular deutoplasmic area’ and a ‘peripheral clear layer’, and encloses the ‘germinal vesicle’, in which is seen the ‘germinal spot’)
(as drawn by english physician “henry gray”)
(1827 – 1861)
(author of “gray’s anatomy”)
(1858)
(‘henry gray’ died at age 34)
(“confluent smallpox”)
(he caught it while caring for his 10-year-old nephew “charles gray”)

-the egg cell is the ‘female reproductive cell’ (aka ‘gamete’) in ‘oogamous organisms’-
.
(the egg cell is typically not capable of active movement, and it is much larger (visible to the naked eye) than the motile sperm cells)
(when ‘egg’ and ‘sperm’ fuse, a ‘diploid cell’ (the ‘zygote’) is formed, which rapidly grows into a new ‘organism’)
(the ‘organic vessel’ containing the zygote in which an animalΒ embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal ‘hatches’)
