Corona radiata is the layer placed adjacent to the zona pellucida. It provides proteins to the developing ovum. It is made up of tall pillar-like cells.

Zona pellucida is a glycoprotein layer. It is paced outer to the plasma membrane of the oocytes. It binds to spermatozoa, and initiate the acrosome reaction. 
The vitelline membrane surrounds the outer surface of the plasma membrane and it helps in the binding of spermatozoa.
