When does the menstrual cycle usually begins?
Puberty
Menopause
- the period in which a woman's reproductive capability ends
Oogenesis

- the female stem cells, the multiply rapidly to increase their number
Primary oocytes
- the daughter cells of the oogonia
Primordial Follicles
- a primary oocytes being surrounded by a single layer of cells, which grow to become primary follicle
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone
- stimulates a small number of primary follicles to grow and mature each month, which begins the process of ovulation
Ovarian Cycle
- constitute to the cyclic changes that occur monthly i the ovary
Antrum
- fluid in the central chamber
Secondary oocyte
- the larger cell that appears when the first meiotic division occurs
Polar Body
- the very tiny cell that appears when the first meiotic division occurs
Corona Radiata
- a follicle-cell capsule that surrounds the secondary oocyte
Luteinizing Hormone
- the one that ovulates the oocytes
Corpus Luteum
- a very different hormone-producing structure that appears when the ruptured follicle transforms
