Select the INCORRECT statement about the human ovarian follicle.
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
A primary follicle consists of a primary oocyte surrounded by a single layer of cuboidal or columnar follicular cells (granulosa cells). When the follicular cells become multi-layered, the follicle is termed a secondary follicle. Therefore, the statement that a primary follicle has a multi-layered wall of follicular cells is incorrect.
The primordial ovarian follicles arise from egg nests in the fetal ovary.
The primordial germ cells, which give rise to immature ova, originate in the epiblast and migrate to the endoderm of the yolk sac before reaching the gonadal ridge.
The large-scale destruction and degeneration of ovarian follicles from birth to puberty is known as follicular atresia.
Answer: Primary follicle has multi-layered wall of follicular cells.
