The term for the production of gametes is called
gametogenesis.
Gametogenesis in the female is referred to as
oogenesis.
The ovary is the organ where gametogenesis
(oogenesis) occurs.
The release of an oocyte and occurs every 28-30 days
is ovulation.
The developing gametes are called oocytes.
The mature gamete is an ova.
The ovary is covered with germinal epithelium.
Underneath the germinal epithelium is connective
tissue called the tunica albuginea.
The outer region of the ovary is called the cortex.
The inner region of the ovary is called the medulla.
The ovarian follicle contains the oocyte.
Note from Sarah Bellham:
The outer region of some other organs is also
sometimes called a cortex.
The inner/middle region of some other organs is also
sometimes called a medulla.
A primordial follicle is a primary oocyte in the outer
region of the cortex. It is arrested in the first meiotic
prophase. It is surrounded by flattened follicular
epithelial cells.
The primary follicle is marked by the surrounding of
flattened (squamous) follicular cells becoming
cuboidal and the oocyte becomes bigger.
The presence of the antrum is a characteristic of a
secondary follicle.
A follicle at this stage is also called an "antral
follicle".
The mature follicle is also called the Graffian
follicle.
The follicle which is ovulated is the Graffian follicle.
The connective tissue layer around the primary
follicle is the theca folliculi.
The follicular cells are granulosa cells.
The acidophilic glycoprotein coat surrounding the
oocyte is the zona pellucida.
A cavity within the follicle is the antrum.

a. Follicle
b. Germinal epithelium

During the first week to 10 days, FSH is the main
hormone which stimulates the growth of the follicles.
