What does the hair follicle surround?
The hair follicle surrounds the root of the hair. If the follicle becomes damaged, it may not support the growth of hair, and a tiny bald spot will occur.
What changes occur in the follicle as a result of maturation?

What does a ruptured follicle mean?
A ruptured follicle refers to the release of an egg from its follicle in the ovary during the ovulation phase of the menstrual cycle. This process occurs when hormonal changes trigger the follicle to break open, allowing the mature egg to exit and potentially be fertilized. The ruptured follicle then transforms into the corpus luteum, which produces hormones like progesterone to support potential pregnancy. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum eventually disintegrates, leading to menstruation.
What are the stages of follicle development?
Follicle development occurs in several stages: primordial follicle, primary follicle, secondary follicle, preantral follicle, antral follicle, and mature (Graafian) follicle. Each stage involves specific changes in the follicle and oocyte as they mature towards ovulation.
When does moderate and severe inflammatory types of acne occur?
result after the plugged follicle is invaded by Propionibacterium acnes, a bacteria that normally lives on the skin. A pimple forms when the damaged follicle weakens and bursts open, releasing sebum, bacteria, and skin
What is A mature ovum in its sac sometimes called is it an oocyte or a primary follicle or a graafian follicle or an ovarian follicle?
graafian follicle
Which term best describes a noninfected lesion formed by buildup in a hair follicle?
The term that best describes a noninfected lesion formed by a buildup in a hair follicle is "comedo." Comedones can be open (blackheads) or closed (whiteheads) and occur when dead skin cells, oils, and debris clog the follicle. They are commonly associated with acne but do not involve bacterial infection.
What is the fate of a mature antral follicle?
The fate of a mature antral follicle, typically in the ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle, is to release an egg during ovulation. If fertilization occurs, the follicle transforms into the corpus luteum, which produces hormones to support early pregnancy. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates, leading to a decrease in hormone levels and the eventual onset of menstruation. Thus, the fate of a mature antral follicle is closely tied to whether or not the egg is fertilized.
The sac from which hair grows?
Follicle.
What is a mature ovarian follicle?
Graafian follicle
What hormone completes follicle maturation?
The FSH hormone or follicle stimulating hormone
What process occurs when a follicle reaches an egg cell?
When a follicle reaches maturity, it undergoes a process called ovulation, during which it releases an egg cell (oocyte) from the ovary. This mature follicle, now called a graafian follicle, bursts to expel the egg into the fallopian tube, where it may encounter sperm for potential fertilization. The remaining follicular cells transform into the corpus luteum, which produces hormones like progesterone to support a potential pregnancy. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates, leading to menstruation.
