Abstract

These experiments were performed to know ultrastructural changes of the cumulus expansion in virot. SEM:In expanded oocyte-cumulus complex, the cell surface are characterized by the presence of many evaginations:they are relatively short and round shape. The mucous extracellular material were deposited between cumulus cells. TEM:In compact cumulus cells, golgi apparatus and rough endoplasmic reticulum developed. In expanded cumulus cells, rough endoplasmic reticulum decreased and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum increased. Also, there were numbers of mitochondria. Extracellular mucous material which is presumed to be hyaluronic acid appears when cumulus cell were expanded. In expanded cumulus cell, numbers of smooth endoplasmic reticulum help cumulus cell to develop in steroidogenic cell.
