The oocyte or egg in the ovary is surrounded by cells that make up the follicle. Each month, one of the eggs and its corresponding follicle matures. There is a primoridal follicle, primary follicle, secondary follicle and finally a vesicular or Graafian follicle. The vesicular (Graafian) follicle is the most mature and the oocyte is suspended from a stalk into the flluid-filled compartment of the vesicular follicle. The egg or oocyte is released from the vesicular follicle at ovulation. The follicle remains in the ovary and develops into the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone.

What type of cells form hair?

What do you mean by peripherally arranged follicles?
Peripherally arranged follicles refer to the arrangement of ovarian follicles in which they are located at the outer edge or periphery of the ovarian structure. This configuration is typical in the early stages of follicular development, where multiple follicles are positioned around the outer layer of the ovary. This arrangement plays a crucial role in the process of oogenesis and the overall function of the ovaries in reproductive biology.
What does scattered follicles in right ovary mean?
Scattered follicles in the right ovary typically indicate the presence of multiple immature or developing ovarian follicles. This can be a normal finding, especially in the context of a woman's menstrual cycle, where follicles may be preparing for ovulation. However, it can also be associated with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) if accompanied by other symptoms. A healthcare provider can offer a more specific interpretation based on individual circumstances and additional tests.

What are atretic follicles?
Atretic follicles are ovarian follicles that have undergone a process of degeneration and are no longer viable. During the menstrual cycle, not all developing follicles mature; some undergo atresia, leading to their regression and absorption by the surrounding tissue. This process is a normal part of ovarian function and helps regulate the number of follicles available for potential ovulation. Atretic follicles can be identified histologically by changes in their cellular structure and reduced hormone production.
What are the primordial follicles stimulated to develop into primary follicles by the hormone called?
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.
What form do egg cells start out as?
When an egg is being formed, it starts out as a follicle. There are many follicles in the ovaries, with only a few that actually develop into eggs.
