Folliculogenesis is the process in which a recruited primordial follicle grows and develops into a specialized graafian follicle with the potential to either ovulate its egg into the oviduct at mid-cycle to be fertilized or to die by atresia.
A follicle basically looks like a small blister, about 3 to 4 mm in size, nestled on the surface of the ovary, containing follicular fluid and a tiny cell the size of a small grain of sand, which is the âoocyteâ, or egg. The egg is to the follicle as a seed is to a fruit. As a result of natural hormone secretion (the body stimulates the ovary with a hormone called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)), only one follicle is selected for ovulation and the rest are reabsorbed by the ovaries.
