before birth: at birth , all primordial follicles are already present and contain primary oocytes arrested in prophase 1

oocyte

primordial follicle

throughout life until menopause: primordial follicles begin to grow and develop (Before pubery all developing feollicles undergo atresia)

primordial follicle second stage

primary follicle

secondary follicle

from puberty to menopause: After puberty, some vesicular follicles are rescued from aterisa each month and the primary oocyte in one (the dominant follicle) completes meiosis 1)

vesicular (antral) follicle

ovulated secondary oocyte

corpus luteum (develops from ruptured follicle)

oogonium (stem cell)

mitosis

primary oocyte

meiosis begins but arrests

primary oocyte second stage

primary oocytes!

spindle

meiosis 1 completes

first polar body

secondary oocyte (arrested in metaphase 2)

meiosis 2 of polar body (may or may not occur)

sperm

polar bodies (all polar bodies degenerate)

meiosis 2 completed (only if sperm penetrates oocyte)

ovum

second polary body
