The various stages of oocytes are described under distinctive stages namely 1. chromatin nucleolus stage; 2. perinucleolus stage; 3. yolk vesicle stage; 4. primary yolk stage; 5. secondary yolk stage; 6. tertiary yolk stage; 7. migratory nucleus stage; 8. pre-ripening stage; 9. ripe egg stage. The yolk deposition is initiated as minute globules in the extravesicular ooplasm. A yolk nuclous is entirely wanting in any stage of oocyte maturation.
