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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the glycoprotein layer between the oocyte and the granulosa cells of an ovarian follicle called?
The glycoprotein layer between the oocyte and the granulosa cells of an ovarian follicle is called the zona pellucida. It plays a crucial role in mediating interactions between the oocyte and surrounding cells during ovulation and fertilization.
What does follicle stimulating hormone promote the development of?
primary follicle/oocyte
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 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.
What is difference between oocyte and egg?
they are 2 difrent thing
The release of the oocyte from the follicle is caused by?
a surge in the level of the luteinizing (LH) hormone.
What are the stages of follicle development?
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.
An ovarian follicle that has multiple layers of granulose cells that surround the oocyte and has fluid-filled vesicles but no antrum is called an?
secondary follicle
What happens to secondary oocyte once its released from the follicle?
Once the secondary oocyte is released from the follicle during ovulation, it enters the fallopian tube. If a sperm cell fertilizes it, the secondary oocyte completes meiosis II, resulting in a mature ovum and a second polar body. If fertilization does not occur, the secondary oocyte will eventually degenerate and be reabsorbed by the body within 24 hours.
