Question

1. This is an avascular cellular layer immediately adjacent to the oocyte in the follicle.

Discuss the cellular changes in this layer during folliculogenesis, including the differing roles played by this layer during and after ovulation

How does this layer change metabolically during folliculogenesis and after ovulation?

2. This tissue layer, derived from a fibroblast-like precursor in the stroma, is essential for folliculogenesis.

Discuss the cellular changes in this layer during folliculogenesis and the role this layer plays in steroidogenesis

Compare and contrast the structure and function of this tissue with that described in question #1

3. In the space below, diagram female meiosis. Include in your description the process of oogenesis and the role of MPF.
