Notes
The cortex of the ovary contains numerous follicles embedded in a thick stroma. Most of the follicles are resting primordial follicles. Follicles which have been stimulated to develop progress through primary and secondary stages to become mature tertiary or Graafian follicles (named after Reinier de Graaf, b. 1641).
