Early Zygote
This is described as an early human zygote due to the presence of the 2 pronuclei (male and female) in the centre of the cytoplasm.
The haploid pronuclei of the male (spermatozoa) and female (oocyte) have not yet combined to form a single nucleus.
The polar bodies can be seen at the edge of the cytoplasm (at 3 o'clock position). These exclusion bodies contain the additional oocyte DNA produced in meiosis.
The zona pellucida forms the thick clear layer that surrounds the cell. This specialised extracellular matrix has nay roles in early development.
At this stage in vivo:
- there would still be granulosa cells and spermatozoa attached to the zone pellucida.
- the zygote floats freely within the uterine tube.
- The cell is preparing for the first mitotic division.
