“…There have been many studies on the ultrastructure of sea-urchin eggs and oocytes (Runnstrom, 1963;Lonning, 1965;Franklin, 1965;Kidd, 1978;Longo, 1978;Tilney & Jaffe, 1980); however, we wish to point out several aspects of particular relevance to our present study. First, germinal vesicle stage oocytes have an extensive surface area due to the presence of long and numerous microvilli ( Fig.…”

“…Bleb formation in oocytes appears to be analogous to the formation of the fertilization cone in the mature egg (Franklin, 1965). As reported previously, oocyte blebs are usually retracted 10-20min after insemination (Hagstrom & Lonning, 1961;Runnstrom, 1963).…”

“…Consequently, there is no reason to believe that activation events would prevent their further progression. The length and density of microvilli, location of cortical granules, 21,27,111 and the priming of the intracellular Ca 2+ release mechanism 112 are events in oocytes that are tightly controlled by the actin cortical cytoskeleton. 113 In the 1970s, it was already suggested that G-actin, sequestered on the membrane, polymerizes during the first few seconds of sperm-oocyte interaction.…”
