Answer:
The total number of follicles in two ovaries of a normal young adult woman is about four lakhs but only about 500 eggs reach maturity because many ovarian follicles (during primary oocyte stage) undergo degeneration.This degenerative process of follicles is called follicular atresia and such follicles are known as atretic follicles.
