    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagusstoff

    Vagusstoff (literally translated from German as "Vagus Substance") refers to the substance released by stimulation of the vagus nerve which causes a reduction in the heart rate. Discovered in 1921 by physiologist Otto Loewi , vagusstoff was the first confirmation of chemical synaptic transmission and the first neurotransmitter ever discovered.

  3. Lactation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactation

    From the eighteenth week of pregnancy (the second and third trimesters), a woman's body produces hormones that stimulate the growth of the milk duct system in the breasts: Progesterone influences the growth in size of alveoli and lobes; high levels of progesterone inhibit lactation before birth. Progesterone levels drop after birth; this ...

  4. Folliculogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folliculogenesis

    From birth, the ovaries of the human female contain many immature, primordial follicles. These follicles each contain a similarly immature primary oocyte . At puberty , clutches of follicles begin folliculogenesis, entering a growth pattern that ends in ovulation (the process where the oocyte leaves the follicle) or in atresia (death of the ...

  5. Oogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oogenesis

    In plants, oogenesis occurs inside the female gametophyte via mitosis. In many plants such as bryophytes, ferns, and gymnosperms, egg cells are formed in archegonia. In flowering plants, the female gametophyte has been reduced to an eight-celled embryo sac within the ovule inside the ovary of the flower. Oogenesis occurs within the embryo sac ...

  6. Egg cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_cell

    In seed plants, a structure called the ovule contains the female gametophyte. The gametophyte produces an egg cell. After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed containing the embryo. [14] In flowering plants, the female gametophyte (sometimes referred to as the embryo sac) has been reduced to just eight cells inside the ovule.

    Development before birth, or prenatal development (from Latin natalis 'relating to birth') is the process in which a zygote, and later an embryo, and then a fetus develops during gestation. Prenatal development starts with fertilization and the formation of the zygote , the first stage in embryonic development which continues in fetal ...

  8. Cat genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_genetics

    Cat genetics describes the study of inheritance as it occurs in domestic cats. In feline husbandry it can predict established traits ( phenotypes ) of the offspring of particular crosses. In medical genetics , cat models are occasionally used to discover the function of homologous human disease genes.

  9. Development of the gonads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_gonads

    Just before birth, the upper part of the vaginal process, at the internal inguinal ring, usually becomes closed, and this obliteration extends gradually downward to within a short distance of the testicle. The process of peritoneum surrounding the testis is now entirely cut off from the general peritoneal cavity and constitutes the tunica ...
