Ovarian follicles are the basic units of female reproductive biology.
Each of them contains a single oocyte (immature ovum or egg cell).
These structures are periodically initiated to grow and develop, culminating in ovulation of usually a single competent oocyte in humans.
They also consist of granulosa cells and theca of follicle.
