the medulla. Ovarian follicles are eggs or ova and their
surrounding tissues in various stages of development. Each
follicle contains an immature egg or oocyte (OH-oh-
sight) and at this stage is referred to as a primary follicle.
As the developing egg begins to mature, the
follicle increases in size and develops a fluid-filled cen-tral
region called the antrum. At this stage, the follicle is called
a secondary follicle as it begins to develop the fluid. A
mature follicle with a mature egg is called a graaf-ian
(GRAF-ee-an) follicle. This is basically an endocrine
