Explanation:
Primary follicle
When the primordial follicle is stimulated, it becomes a primary follicle. The oocyte enlarges, and the follicular cells divide. A follicle that has two layers of follicular cells is called a primary follicle. These cells continue to hypertrophy and proliferate to form many layers surrounding the oocyte. Eventually these cells become known as 'granulosa' cells. The granulosa cells will secrete progesterone after ovulation.

A thick glycoprotein layer develops between the oocyte and the zona granulosa, called the zona pellucida.
Finally, the stroma around the follicle develops to form a capsule like 'theca'. (Theca is greek for 'box'). Only one of the maturing follicles completes the maturation process each month. The rest degenerate into atretic follicles. Follicular maturation takes about 3 months.
