Oocytes in dormant follicles are primary oocytes arrested at prophase I of meiosis. They are typically around 20-30 micrometers in diameter.
primary oocytes, which are arrested in prophase I of meiosis. These primary oocytes remain dormant in the ovaries until puberty, when they are activated and begin to mature through the process of oogenesis.
In a primary follicle, the main cell types include oocytes and granulosa cells. The oocyte is the immature egg cell, while the granulosa cells surround and support the oocyte, providing nutrients and hormones. Additionally, the primary follicle may also contain theca cells, which are involved in hormone production and support the follicle's development.
During oogenesis, an oogonium gives rise to primary oocytes. These primary oocytes then undergo meiosis to become secondary oocytes.
Yes, a four-month female fetus has developed ovaries, which contain immature eggs, or oocytes, at this stage. The ovaries start forming early in fetal development, and by around 16 weeks, they contain a significant number of these immature eggs. However, these oocytes remain dormant until puberty, when they begin to mature and be released during the menstrual cycle.

done under medication (but not a general anesthesia), The doctor will use a transvaginal ultrasound to guide a needle, up to the ovaries. suck the fluid and 8 to 15 oocytes from the follicle in to the needle.

Oocytes
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.

Eggs develop in the ovaries through a process called oogenesis. It begins with the division of stem cells in the ovary, which develop into primary oocytes. These primary oocytes then undergo meiosis to produce secondary oocytes, which are eventually released during ovulation.
Primary oocytes are diploid cells that have undergone DNA replication but are arrested in prophase I of meiosis, whereas secondary oocytes are haploid cells resulting from the division of primary oocyte after completing meiosis I. Secondary oocytes are arrested in metaphase II and are released during ovulation, while primary oocytes are present in the ovaries prior to puberty.
