Human Early Zygote

  • Early zygote observed after 18 to 20 hours after insemination.
  • Zygote showing the two unfused pronuclei (male and female) containing nucleolar precursor bodies.
  • Polar bodies are seen (10 o'clock position) at the periphery separating the zygote plasma membrane from the surrounding zone pellucida.
  • There is also a unlabeled version of this image.

Original File name: Figure 2. 1477-7827-8-77-2-l.jpg Original magnification ×400, for the paper publication not the online image.

The original figure (C) was extracted from the full panel image and modified using Photoshop with the addition of labels:

(C) 2PN centralized and juxtaposed, NPBs non polarized with dispersed or not completely aligned NPBs in the 2PN, longitudinal PB alignment.


(A) 2PN centralized and juxtaposed, NPBs aligned on the side of the 2PN, longitudinal PB alignment. (B) 2PN centralized and juxtaposed, NPBs dispersed in the 2PN, perpendicular PB alignment. (C) 2PN centralized and juxtaposed, NPBs non polarized with dispersed or not completely aligned NPBs in the 2PN, longitudinal PB alignment. (D) 2PN centralized and juxtaposed, NPBs aligned on the side of the 2PN, neither longitudinal nor perpendicular PB alignment. Black narrows indicate the PBs. (A) and (B) were examples of zygotes included in Pattern 1 group, while (C) and (D) were examples of zygotes included in Pattern 2 group.
