The follicle serves as a protective structure for the developing ovum (egg) within the ovary. It provides essential nutrients and hormonal support, promoting the maturation of the ovum during the menstrual cycle. As the follicle develops, it also produces hormones like estrogen, which help regulate the reproductive cycle and prepare the body for potential fertilization. Ultimately, the follicle facilitates ovulation, releasing the mature ovum for possible fertilization.
What else can I help you with?
What is the releasing of an ovum from a follicle called?
The release of an ovum from a follicle is known as ovulation. The ovum is also known as the egg.
What is a mature ovarian follicle?
Graafian follicle
Can you be pregnant with a developing follicle?
No, a developing follicle means the ovum (egg) is still maturing. Once "ripe" the follicle will burst during ovulation and the ovum will be released.
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 name is given to an immature ovum encased in a sac?
An immature ovum encased in a sac is called a follicle.
What is a fluid sac containing a single ovum?
A fluid sac containing a single ovum is known as a follicle, specifically an ovarian follicle. It is a structure within the ovaries that houses an immature egg (ovum) and is involved in the process of ovulation. As the follicle matures, it produces hormones, particularly estrogen, and eventually releases the ovum during ovulation. This process is crucial for reproduction in females.
What structure expels the mature ovum?
The Graffian Follicle in the ovary expels the secondary oocyte (mature ovum) into the peritoneum, where it is picked up by the fimbrae of the Fallopian tubes.
Where does the ovum mature during your period?
The ovum matures in the follicle of the ovary during the menstrual cycle, not specifically during the period. During the menstrual cycle, the ovum matures within a follicle until it is released during ovulation.
What is a Female egg cell?
The female egg is the ovum. It grows within a structure known as the Graafian follicle. At around the 14th day of th menstrual cycle the follicle ruptures and releases the ovum or egg. - <a href="http://www.gynaeonline.com/ovarian_cycle.htm"> Ovum</a>
Which region of the uterine tube captures the ovum?
During ovulation, the ovum is released due to rupture of the Mature or Graafian follicle. The unfertilized ovum is captured by the fimbria of the tuba uterina or oviduct at the infundibulum region.
Where fertilized ovum developed?
Uterus
What hormones are necessary for egg cell production?
Follicle stimulating hormone from anterior pituitary is required for maturation of the follicle. There is brisk rise of luteinizing hormone, also called as LH, to brake the follicle and liberate the ovum.
