Once the follicle ruptures during ovulation, it transforms into the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum produces hormones like progesterone to support the potential implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus. If pregnancy doesn't occur, the corpus luteum degenerates, leading to the start of a new menstrual cycle.

What is the average size of follicle when ruptured?

The average size of a follicle at the time of rupture, which is when ovulation occurs, is typically around 18 to 24 millimeters in diameter. This size can vary among individuals and may be influenced by factors such as hormonal levels and the specific menstrual cycle. Follicles reach this size as they mature, filled with fluid and an egg, ready for release.


What events occur during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle?

During the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, the ruptured follicle transforms into a structure called the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone. This hormone helps thicken the uterine lining in preparation for implantation and helps maintain the early stages of pregnancy if fertilization occurs. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum breaks down, leading to a drop in progesterone levels and the start of menstruation.

What stimulates maturation of a primary follicle at puberty?

The increase in levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) that occurs at puberty stimulates the maturation of a primary follicle in the ovary.

This leads to the growth and development of the primary follicle into a secondary follicle.
