Infant Ovary (human)

In this infant ovary there are a large number of primordial follicles (oocytes) forming a thick cortical region and no later stages follicle development. Compare this structure with the other images of a mature ovary with reproductive activity.

inset - region of whole ovary shown in this image
right - ovary surface (tunica alburginea)
centre - ovary cortex
left - ovary medulla

primordial follicle - primary oocyte is surrounded by a single layer of follicular cells.
oocytes - enter diplotene stage of prophase.
