Primary follicle

 

 

This section is from an ovary of a woman of childbearing age. It demonstrates typical swirling ovarian stroma and

primary follicles, each of which consists of a primary oocyte surrounded by a single layer of cuboidal epithelial cells

(granulosa cells). Two of the primary follicles are well-preserved and 2 have been distorted in tissue processing.
