Pellucida the zona the corona radiata oocyte sperm layer cells

Text	The zones surrounding oocytes are called the zona pellucida and the corona radiata The zona pellucida surrounds the oocyte, is a cellular, and is a mixture of glyocproteins that protect the oocyte and contain compounds necessary for sperm cell binding The corona radiata is outside the zona pellucida and is a layer of cells that adhered to the oocyte during ovulation. When this layer is breached by acrosomal enzymes from sperm cells meiosis 2 is triggered.

The zones surrounding oocytes are called the zona pellucida and the corona radiata

The zona pellucida surrounds the oocyte, is a cellular, and is a mixture of glyocproteins that protect the oocyte and contain compounds necessary for sperm cell binding

The corona radiata is outside the zona pellucida and is a layer of cells that adhered to the oocyte during ovulation. When this layer is breached by acrosomal enzymes from sperm cells meiosis 2 is triggered.
