Oogenesis, Folliculogenesis, and Ovulation

Oocytes develop within distinct follicles in the cortex of the ovary during development. Prenatal follicles that have been dormant become active and go through progressive development at regular intervals starting in the late fetal period and continuing into maturity. After becoming activated, follicles and oocytes in a cohort either develop to maturity and ovulation or experience atresia, which eventually causes the ovaries to become devoid of germ cells.  This article explains briefly Oogenesis, folliculogenesis, and Ovulation to its readers.
