Ovulation is triggered by a dramatic increase in which hormone?
During the first week to 10 days, FSH is the main hormone which stimulates the growth of the follicles. Ovulation is triggered by a dramatic increase in LH. During a pregnancy, HCG is the hormone which maintains the corpus luteum.

What is ovulated?
The follicle which is ovulated is the Graffian follicle. The connective tissue layer around the primary follicle is the theca folliculi. The follicular cells are granulosa cells. The acidophilic glycoprotein coat surrounding the oocyte is the zona pellucida. A cavity within the follicle is the antrum.

What is the acidophilic glycoprotein coat which surrounds the oocyte?
5 / 24
What is the inner part of the ovary?
The ovary is covered with germinal epithelium. Underneath the germinal epithelium is connective tissue called the tunica albuginea.
6 / 24
What is the connective tissue which surrounds the ovary?
The ovary is covered with germinal epithelium. Underneath the germinal epithelium is connective tissue called the tunica albuginea. The outer region of the ovary is called the cortex. The inner region of the ovary is called the medulla. The ovarian follicle contains the oocyte.
7 / 24
What is another term for the mature follicle?
A primordial follicle is a primary oocyte in the outer region of the cortex. It is arrested in the first meiotic prophase. It is surrounded by flattened follicular epithelial cells.
8 / 24
What is the female organ called where gametogenesis occurs?
The term for the production of gametes is called gametogenesis. Gametogenesis in the female is referred to as oogenesis. The ovary is the organ where gametogenesis (oogenesis) occurs. Ovulation is the release of an oocyte and occurs every 28-30 days. The developing gametes are called oocytes. The mature gamete is an ova.

During a pregnancy, which hormone which maintains the corpus luteum?
