Infant Ovary (human)

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

centre - ovary cortex

primordial follicle - primary oocyte is surrounded by a single layer of follicular cells.
oocytes - enter diplotene stage of meiosis prophase.
- remain arrested in this early stage of the first meiotic division as a primary oocyte (primordial follicle)
