Las descripciones ultraestructurales del ovario, del proceso de ovogenesis y de la degeneracion ovocitaria en bivalvos han aumentado, evidentemente, a partir de finales de la decada de los 80's, enfocandose casi exclusivamente en especies que tienen interes para su comercializacion y consumo: Mytilus edulis (Pipe, 1987), Pinna nobilis (de Gaulejac et al., 1995), Crassostrea virginica (Eckelbarger & Davis, 1996), Cyclina sinensis (Chung et al., 2007), Spisula sachalinensis (Chung et al., 2008a), Sinonovacula constricta (Chung et al., 2008b) y Chamelea gallina (Erkan, 2009).

En las gonadas femeninas, el desarrollo activo, marca el inicio de la ovogenesis. Los acinos (60-90 [micro]m 0) estan rodeados de oogonias (8-10 [micro]m 0) que luego se diferencian en ovocitos previtelogenicos (12-14 [micro]m 0), que son celulas inmaduras en contacto con la pared del acino, con algunas celulas auxiliares.

La maduracion de los ovarios en los insectos implica una serie de complejos eventos celulares por los que atraviesan sus ovocitos antes de lograr su madurez, y entre ellos se pueden mencionar la actividad mitotica y meiotica de las celulas germinales primordiales, la previtelogenesis, la vitelogenesis y finalmente la coriogenesis (King y Buning 1985; Raabe 1986); al termino de dichos procesos que engloban a la ovogenesis, los ovarios presentan ovocitos que han alcanzado su madurez fisiologica y estan listos para ser fecundados.

As described in paragraph 6, in mammals--human included--most female reproductive events, from ovogenesis and fertilization to successful pregnancy and parturition, require a functional endocannabinoid signaling, once again confirming the conservation of functions related to reproduction.
