2. Female reproductive biology is built around ovarian follicles. There is only one oocyte in each of them (immature ovum or egg cell). | 2. It occurs shortly after an egg has been released from your ovary. |
3. These structures grow and develop on a regular basis, culminating in the ovulation of a single competent oocyte in humans. Granulosa cells and follicular theca are also found in them. | 3.
