a spermatozoon in the genital organs of a male. See 

 Index, infra, "Spermatozoon.' 



Sec. 21. Ovum, its Production 



The production of an ovum in the genital organs 

 of a female is the second step. It is immaterial which 

 of them is produced first. The essential point is that 

 they shall meet and fuse into the fertilized ovum. 



See Sec. 14, supra; Index, infra, "ovum." 



Sec. 22. Germ-Cell, its Production 



The third step is the fusion of the spermatozoon 

 and ovum into the germ-cell, stem-cell or fertilized 

 ovum. See index, infra, "germ-cell,' "stem-cell," 

 "fertilized ovum." 



Sec. 23. Daughter-Cells, Their Production 



The fourth step is the production of daughter 

 cells. The germ-cell (fertilized ovum) is the primordial 

 cell, from which every other cell in the human body is 

 directly or indirectly, produced by fission or self- 

 division. As already stated, the germ-cell divides in- 

 to two daughter-cells, these into four, these into 

 eight, sixteen, and so on to infinity. Every cell is 

 composed of a vast number of atoms. A portion of
