  1. graafian follicle

    A graafian follicle is a mature, fluid-filled cavity in the mammalian ovary that contains a single ovum (egg cell). It is the final stage of follicular development before ovulation, when the egg cell is released into the reproductive tract. Named after the 17th-century anatomist Regnier de Graaf, the graafian follicle also produces hormones such as estrogen which play important roles in the menstrual cycle and fertility.
