A primordial follicle consists of an immature oocyte (egg cell) surrounded by a single layer of flattened granulosa cells. This structure is the earliest stage in the development of ovarian follicles in females and serves as a reserve pool of oocytes. Primordial follicles are found in the ovaries and remain in a dormant state until they are activated for growth during the menstrual cycle or reproductive phases.
True
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.
The development of a primordial follicle into a Graafian follicle can take several months, typically around 3 to 6 months, depending on various factors such as hormonal influences and the individual's reproductive cycle. Initially, primordial follicles undergo a series of growth stages, progressing through primary, secondary, and tertiary stages before becoming a mature Graafian follicle. This process is part of the ovarian follicular development that occurs within the menstrual cycle.
False. The zona pellucida is formed as the primary oocyte within the primordial follicle begins to grow and develop into a secondary follicle.
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.
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.
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
