No references found | Female Developing Stage The ovary consisted of a capsule-like structure, which contained oogonia and oocytes attached to the trabeculae (Fig. 1992) but excludes precursor cells such as previtellogenic follicles (PVFs) or oogonia. In some individuals, ovaries contained only oogonia, but in other females at a more advanced stage of development and with larger ovaries, both oogonia and primary oocytes in the perinucleolar stage were present. |
