List the important events in follicle development

What will be an ideal response?


Follicle development may take a year to complete. Important events include (1 ) formation of primary ovarian follicles from primordial ovarian follicles in an egg nest, (2 ) formation of secondary ovarian follicles, and (3 ) formation of tertiary ovarian follicles. During the monthly ovarian cycle one tertiary ovarian follicle matures, releases a secondary oocyte at ovulation, and forms a corpus luteum, which will degenerate into a corpus albicans if fertilization doesn't occur.
