The theca folliculi comprise a layer of the ovarian follicles. They appear as the follicles become secondary follicles. The theca are divided into two...

ovulation of usually a single competent oocyte in humans. They also consist of granulosa cells and theca of follicle. Once a month, one of the ovaries...

a theca (pl.: thecae) is a sheath or a covering. In botany, the theca is related to plant's flower anatomy. The theca of an angiosperm consists of a pair...

to allow penetration. Stroma-like theca cells are recruited by oocyte-secreted signals. They surround the follicle's outermost layer, the basal lamina...

After rupture of the mature ovarian follicle, the theca interna cells differentiate into the theca lutein cells of the corpus luteum. Theca lutein cells...

detectable. Granulosa and theca cells continue to undergo mitosis concomitant with an increase in antrum volume. The Graaf follicle reaches its maximum diameter...

cells develop from the follicular cells surrounding the ovarian follicle. The follicular theca cells luteinize into small luteal cells (thecal-lutein cells)...

The theca externa is the outer layer of the theca folliculi. It is derived from connective tissue, the cells resembling fibroblasts, and contains abundant...

ovarian lesion of a physiological exaggeration of follicle stimulation often termed as hyperreactio lutealis. Theca lutein cysts are lined by theca cells that...

further ahead in development. The more developed follicles will have more blood vessels in theca of follicle, which means they will have more hormones such...
