Detailed explanation-1: -The primary oocyte is eccentrically positioned within the tertiary follicle and resides within a mound of granulosa cells, called the cumulus oophorus, that protrudes into the antrum. The granulosa cells immediately surrounding the oocyte are termed the corona radiata (Figure 1.7).
Detailed explanation-2: -Throughout this growth period, the oocyte remains in the dictyate stage. The fully grown follicle thus contains a large oocyte surrounded by several layers of granulosa cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Graafian follicle releases the oocyte through ovulation.
Detailed explanation-4: -During the follicular phase, one or two follicles become dominant and subsequently release an oocyte under the stimulation of luteinizing hormone. The remaining part of the follicle becomes a corpus luteum (CL), which can produce progesterone for luteal phase and pregnancy (Xie et al., 2017).
