[Occurrence of recombination nodules in the synaptonemal complex of the human oocyte at the pachytene stage]. 1981

A Stahl, and C Mirre

In the human oocyte at pachytene the synaptonemal complex displayed electron-dense bodies mostly oval shaped and associated with the central element. Their dimensions were about 50 x 100 nm. The morphological features of these bodies were similar to those of recombination nodules observed in germinal cells of a number of animal and plant species.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
