Follicle Primordial

Primordial follicle (lat. folliculus primordialis) is one of the stages of follicle development, preceding the formation of a mature follicle. It is formed in the ovaries of women and men.

In the primordial follicle, the formation of primary germ cells (gametes) occurs. It consists of an inner and outer shell, as well as a cavity filled with liquid. The inner lining is formed by a single layer of epithelial cells called primary cells.

During the development of the primordial follicle, the primary cells begin to divide, forming many secondary cells. Secondary cells begin to differentiate, forming the various cell types necessary for the formation of gametes.

Various structures such as eggs and sperm are formed inside the primordial follicle. The follicle maturation process continues until it becomes a mature follicle, ready for ovulation.

In women, the primordial follicle can be detected in the ovaries using ultrasound. In men, the primordial follicle is not visible through the skin, so a special study must be performed to detect it.

Follicle primordial is an important stage of follicular development and plays a key role in the formation of gametes in men and women.

Follicles primordial

*Primordial follicle (fooll. primo rdilal.. e; veins syn. fo. primary)* (literally - germinal) - a group of epithelial formations of the ovary, occupying a common intermediate position with other groups in comparison with primary and functional follicles. F. p. are extremely multinuclear, their size ranges from 0.03 to 0.25 mm; it is filled with a colorless, shapeless mass formed as a result of the disintegration of the oval cycle, which proceeded unsuccessfully.
