What is the Function of Graafian follicles?
Graafian follicles are mature ovarian follicles that contain a developing oocyte. Their function is to produce estrogen and prepare the egg for ovulation. When the Graafian follicle ruptures during ovulation, it releases the egg into the fallopian tube for possible fertilization.
What ruptures on the ovarian cortex each month?
Follicles containing eggs rupture on the ovarian cortex each month during ovulation. When a follicle ruptures, it releases the mature egg into the fallopian tube for potential fertilization.
What is the cycle in which the egg mature?
Ovulation.
How does the hormone FSH fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle and what role does it play in regulating ovulation and the development of ovarian follicles?
During the menstrual cycle, the hormone FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) fluctuates by increasing at the beginning of the cycle to stimulate the growth and development of ovarian follicles. This hormone is crucial in regulating ovulation by promoting the maturation of the egg within the follicle. As the follicle grows, it produces estrogen, which in turn inhibits FSH production. When estrogen levels peak, it triggers a surge in another hormone called LH (luteinizing hormone), which leads to ovulation. FSH levels then decrease until the next cycle begins.
What is another name for the ovarian sac?
The ovarian sac is also known as the follicle.
What is an ovarian follicle that is ready or nearly ready to ovulate?
Ovulation
What is a rise in the blood levels of follicle stimulating hormone at the beginning of the ovarian cycle responsible for?
no. a surge in LH during the middle of the ovarian cycle is responsible for ovulation.
What is the Function of Graafian follicles?

Does caffeen cause overian cysts?
no.. The normal function of the ovaries is to produce an egg each month. During the process of ovulation, a cyst-like structure called a follicle is formed inside the ovary. The mature follicle ruptures when an egg is released during ovulation. A corpus luteum forms from the empty follicle, and if pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum dissolves. Sometimes, however, this process does not conclude appropriately, causing the most common type of ovarian cyst -- functional ovarian cysts.
What ruptures on the ovarian cortex each month?
Follicles containing eggs rupture on the ovarian cortex each month during ovulation. When a follicle ruptures, it releases the mature egg into the fallopian tube for potential fertilization.
What is another name for ovarian sac?
Ovary
What anterior pituitary hormone causes the enlarged ovarian follicle to rupture and release a mature ovum?
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is the anterior pituitary hormone that causes the enlarged ovarian follicle to rupture and release a mature ovum during ovulation.
The maturation of an egg cell during the ovarian cycle takes place in the?
The maturation of an egg cell during the ovarian cycle takes place in the follicles within the ovaries. Each month, a follicle containing an egg cell develops and matures in response to hormone signals. When the egg is fully mature, it is released during ovulation.
What is the cycle in which the egg mature?
Ovulation.
What is a mature ovarian follicle?
Graafian follicle
What organelle is present when the ovarian follicle cells produce estrogen?
smooth ER
Do eggs mature before they leave the ovaries?
Yes. Eggs mature in follicles in the ovaries. Just before ovulation occurs, the follicle that contains the maturing egg rises towards the surface of the ovary. Ovulation occurs when the follicle and the ovarian surface open allowing the egg to drift out of the ovary.
