Introduction:
The pituitary consists of the anterior pituitary and posterior pituitary, which differ by their origin and functions. The anterior lobe or adenohypophysis of the pituitary is derived from the invagination of the oral ectoderm. Based on nerve signals, the hypothalamus secretes hormones, which stimulate or inhibit the production of hormones by the anterior pituitary. The anterior pituitary synthesizes and secretes endocrine hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), prolactin, growth hormone (GH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The anterior pituitary hormones regulate

(I) After sperm entry into the vegetal hemisphere of the oocyte, the yellow cortical cytoplasm and the clear cytoplasm derived from the breakdown of the oocyte nucleus contract vegetally toward the sperm.(II) Before fertilization, yellow cortical cytoplasm surrounds the gray (yolky) inner cytoplasm. (III) The final position of the yellow cytoplasm marks the location where cells give rise to tail muscles.(IV) As the sperm pronucleus migrates animally toward the newly formed egg pronucleus, the yellow and clear cytoplasm move with it.arrow_forwardWhat type of gastrulation is depicted from the diagram below?
