The following surround the eggs before they are released from the ovary:

  • granulosa cells (cumulus oophorus)
  • the antrum (filled with fluid secreted by the granulosa cells)
  • and the theca interna and externa

When the egg is released the theca interna and the glanulosa cells become the corpus luteum (which becomes the corpus albicans = scar tissue, if the egg is not fertilized).

If the egg is fertilized the corpus luteum persists until the developing fetus takes over the required endocrine requirements (ie HCG secretion)
