Oocyte im m ediately after ovulation, showing the spindie of the second m eiotic división. B. A spermatozoon has penetrated the oocyte, which has finished its second m eiotic división. Chromosomes of the oocyte are arranged in a vesicular nucleus, the female pronucleus. Heads of several sperm are stuck in the zona pellucida. C. Male and female pronuclei. D,E. Chromosomes become arranged on the spindie, spiit longitudinally, and move to opposite poles. F. Two-cell stage.

At midcycle, there is an LH surge that: ■ Flevates concentrations o f maturationpromoting factor, causing oocytes to com ­ plete meiosis I and initiate meiosis II ■ Stimulates production o f progesterone by follicular stromal cells (luteinization) ■ Causes follicular rupture and ovulation Ovulation In the days immediately preceding ovulation, under the influence o f FSH and LH, the vesicu­ lar follicle grows rapidly to a diameter o f 25 mm to becom e a mature vesicular (graafian) fol­ licle.
