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

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.

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.

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.

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.
