FSH stands for follicle stimulating hormone
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.
graafian follicle
A follicle is the tubelike structure from which hair grows.
Some studies show that the hair follicle, kind of like the rings in a tree trunk, reveal the varying conditions in the growth process, meaning that a hair follicle supposedly shows a history of drug ingestion and a host of other things that pass through our systems. Alcohol, I believe, is one of them.
Follicle.
Graafian follicle
The FSH hormone or follicle stimulating hormone
The increase in levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) that occurs at puberty stimulates the maturation of a primary follicle in the ovary. FSH acts on the granulosa cells of the primary follicle, promoting their proliferation and differentiation. This leads to the growth and development of the primary follicle into a secondary follicle.
