  2. Granulosa cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulosa_cell

    CCs primarily support growth and development of the oocyte whereas MGCs primarily serve an endocrine function and support the growth of the follicle. Cumulus cells aid in oocyte development and show higher expression of SLC38A3, a transporter for amino acids, and Aldoa, Eno1, Ldh1, Pfkp, Pkm2, and Tpi1, enzymes responsible for glycolysis. [ 7 ]

  3. Antral follicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antral_follicle

    An antral or secondary follicle, also known as Graafian follicle and tertiary follicle, is an ovarian follicle during a certain latter stage of folliculogenesis. Definitions differ in where the shift into an antral follicle occurs in the staging of folliculogenesis, with some stating that it occurs when entering the secondary stage, [ 1 ] and ...

    In addition, follicles that have formed an antrum are called antral follicles or Graafian follicles. Definitions differ in where this shift occurs in the staging given above, with some stating that it occurs when entering the secondary stage, [2] and others stating that it occurs when entering the tertiary stage.

  5. Call–Exner bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call–Exner_bodies

    Call–Exner bodies, giving a follicle-like appearance, are small eosinophilic fluid-filled punched out spaces between granulosa cells. [1] The granulosa cells are usually arranged haphazardly around the space. They are pathognomonic for granulosa cell tumors.

  7. Membrana granulosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrana_granulosa

    The larger ovarian follicles consist of an external fibrovascular coat, connected with the surrounding stroma of the ovary by a network of blood vessels, and an internal coat, which consists of several layers of nucleated cells, called the membrana granulosa.

  8. Follicular phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicular_phase

    The rise in FSH levels recruits five to seven tertiary-stage ovarian follicles (this stage follicle is also known as a Graafian follicle or antral follicle) for entry into the menstrual cycle. These follicles, that have been growing for the better part of a year in a process known as folliculogenesis, compete with each other for dominance. [5]

  9. Theca of follicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theca_of_follicle

    The theca folliculi comprise a layer of the ovarian follicles. They appear as the follicles become secondary follicles. The theca are divided into two layers, the theca interna and the theca externa. [1] Theca cells are a group of endocrine cells in the ovary made up of connective tissue surrounding the follicle.
