BIOL 2402, A&P II Laboratory
Minimum required structures and slides for:
Exercise 48: Physiology of Reproduction; Gametogenesis and the Female Cycles
A. Structures on models:
1. be able to identify the phases & major events of meiosis using models (Activity 1)
a. meiosis I: prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I
b. meiosis II: prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II
2. sperm model
head, acrosome, midpiece, and flagellum
3. spermatogenesis (formation of) and spermiogenesis (maturation of) model
4. ovary model
primordial
germinal epithelium
primary follicle
cortex and medulla
secondary follicle
corpus luteum
tertiary (Graafian or vesicular follicle)
corpus albicans
oocyte
5. Embryo models
corona radiata
zona pellucida
