Primordial, primary, secondary & mature follicles
The primary reproductive organ of the female is the ovary. It is responsible for producing and developing egg cells. The ovary contains small groups of cells, called follicles. The follicles are composed of two types of cells: a reproductive cell that produces the egg and nutrient-producing cells. The nutrient-producing cells provide energy-rich chemicals to the developing egg.

The nutrient-producing cells provide energy-rich chemicals to the developing egg.
Primordial follicles are stimulated to develop into primary follicles by the hormone called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which is released by the pituitary gland. FSH plays a crucial role in promoting the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles in the ovary.
No, ovarian follicles are at different stages of development within the ovary. They go through various stages such as primordial, primary, secondary, and Graafian follicles. This allows for a continuous supply of eggs for ovulation.
They are made in the ovaries. They are responsible for female sexual development and maintenance mainly.
Follicles
various follicles one can find inside a typical ovary are primordial/primary/secondary follicles, mature vesicular, rupturing, mature-corpus luteum as well as corpus albicans
Ovarian follicles
On the ovary.
Graafian follicles are found in the ovaries of the female reproductive system. They are structures within the ovary where the maturation of the egg (ovum) takes place before ovulation.
