functiom of secondary follicle is ????
Answers
Answer:
The primary follicle develops into a secondary follicle.The secondary follicles look very similar to primary follicles, except that they are larger, there are more follicular cells, and there are small accumulations of fluid in the intracellular spaces called follicular fluid (nutritive fluid for the oocyte). These gradually coalesce to form an antrum.
The surrounding granulosa cells is called the cumulus oophorus (greek for 'egg bearing heap').
The surrounding theca differentiates into two layers: the Theca interna (rounded cells that secrete androgens and follicular fluid) and a more fibrous Theca externa - spindle shaped cells. The androgens are converted into oestrogen by the granulosa cells.
Answer:
The follicle plays a major role in the dual function of the ovary--oocyte maturation and release and steroidogenesis required for regulating its own growth and providing the proper environment in reproductive organs for the transport of gametes and nidation.
