PP2.H2.5 Ovarian Follicles 2
Ovarian Follicles 2:
- Follicles mature, mainly under the influence of hormones released by the pituitary gland
- Different stages of maturation are described:
- Primordial
- Primary
- Secondary
- Graafian
- When a Graafian follicle matures, it ruptures to release its ovum
- It then undergoes changes to form a corpus luteum; this is the endocrine gland which secretes the hormones of pregnancy and maintains the development of the embryo and placenta
- Follicles may break down at any stage of their development (most do!)
- They are then known as atretic follicles
- Corpora lutea also breakdown and are then known as corpora albicans
- The naming of follicles is not standardised across all texts
- It may even vary from one edition of a text to another!
