Question

From the provided image (mature ovarian follicle under 10X), label the structures described under growing follicle:

Growing or secondary follicle—round body larger than the primary follicle and consists of the  following structures, from the inside outward.

  1. Primary oocyte—a single large cell inside the follicle
  2. Yolk—finely granular material located in the cytoplasm of the oocyte.
  3. Vitelline membrane of primary oocyte—cell membrane of 1st oocyte. Appear as a thin  line that encloses the oocyte
  4. Zona pellucida—a homogenous material that encloses the vitteline membrane.  Believe to be secreted to both the oocyte and the corona radiata.
  5. Corona radiata—a single layer of follicular cells that surround the zona pellucida.
  6. Cumulus oophorus—several layers of follicular cells external to the corona radiata that  form a stalk that anchors the ooocyte to the stratum granulosum.
  7. Antrum with liquor folliculi—cavity that separates the oocyte from the stratum  granulosum and contains a fluid calle liquor folliculi.
  8. Stratum granulosum or membrana granulosa—several layers of cells that form the  peripheral wall of the follicle. Believe to secrete estrogen.
  9. Basal lamina—a thin homogenous material that forms the outer limit of the ovarian  follicle and on which the stratum granulosum cells rest.
  10. Theca folliculi or capsule—part of the ovarian stroma that surrounds the basal lamina  and forms the capsule of the follicle. Consists of the two layers:

Theca folliculi interna—inner cellular layer from the ovarian stroma

Theca folliculi externa—outer fibrous layer that forms the outer capsule of the  follicle.
