What does follicle stimulating hormone promote the development of?
primary follicle/oocyte
Is the letter for the hormone that stimulate ovulation?
LH Leutenizing hormone- it stimulates the release of the oocyte into the fallopian tube, i.e. ovulation. [Do not confuse with FSH- follicle stimulating hormone, which stimulates the growth/maturation of the follicle containing the oocyte IN the Ovary.]
What surrounds a primary oocyte?
follicle cells
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
What is the letter abbreviation for hormone that stimulates ovulation?

Once the oocyte has been release from the follicle?
Once the oocyte has been released from the follicle, it is swept up into the fallopian tube by the fimbriae. The oocyte then begins its journey towards the uterus, where it may be fertilized by sperm if present. If fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo implants in the uterus and pregnancy begins.
Is there any chance of pregnancy after no dominant follicle seen?
Yes, although the odds are lower. A dominant follicle is a single follicle with a maturing oocyte in it that is much larger than all the other follicles that started to develop in this cycle. The dominant follicle is the one that will eventually rupture and release a fertile oocyte, so not having a dominant follicle means the cycle is more likely to not be a fertile cycle.
What structure in the ovary contains the developing oocyte egg?
in the Vesicular (Graafian) follicle
Oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization from a donor by means of a follicle puncture cpt code?
Oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization from a donor by means of a follicle puncture cpt code?
What forms part of the primary follicle in the ovary?
A primary follicle consists of a primary oocyte surrounded by a single layer of enlarged cuboidal epithelium. Recall that previously, there was a primary oocyte in a primordial follicle surrounded by a thinner single layer of squamous follicular cells.
Which hormone assumes a role in the development and discharge of a secondary oocyte?
The hormone that plays a crucial role in the development and release of a secondary oocyte is luteinizing hormone (LH). It is released by the pituitary gland and triggers ovulation, the process by which the mature ovarian follicle releases the secondary oocyte.
What is the difference between an oocyte and a follicle?
The egg (oocyte) develops within a follicle in the ovary. This follicle ( derived from the Latin word for nest) is a thin-walled structure containing fluid, with the egg attached to the wall. Usually, only one follicle develops per month. This follicular growth can be monitored by vaginal ultrasound scanning.
