    16.6   Ovarian cortex Version française
High-power view of the ovarian cortex.

This field shows a few primordial follicles (Po) and two primary multilaminar follicles (Pa-m).

These growing primary follicles show enlarging oocytes with a large nucleus (N). The oocytes are surrounded by several layers of small follicular cells (Fo). A distinct layer of follicular cells (arrowheads) is applied to the surface of the oocytes.

Numerous fibrocytes (Fi) in the stroma surround the various follicles.
