:Although the process is similar in many animals, this article will deal exclusively with human<unk> . Order of changes in ovary.1 - Menstruation2 - Developing follicle3 - Mature follicle4 - Ovulation5 - Corpus luteum6 - Deterioration of corpus luteum In biology,<unk>  is the maturation of the ovarian follicle, a densely packed shell of somatic cells that contains an immature oocyte.<unk>  describes the progression of a number of small primordial follicles into large preovulatory follicles that occurs in part during the menstrual cycle. Contrary to male spermatogenesis, which can last indefinitely,<unk>  ends when the remaining follicles in the ovaries are incapable of responding to the hormonal cues that previously recruited some follicles to mature. This depletion in follicle supply signals the beginning of menopause.
