Select the INCORRECT statement about the human ovarian follicle.
Options
- APrimary follicle has multi-layered wall of follicular cells.
- BThe primordial ovarian follicles arise from egg nest.
- CThe immature ova arise from cells of ventral endoderm of yolk sac.
- DThe large scale destruction of primordial follicles during phase of growth is called atresia.
Correct answer
A. Primary follicle has multi-layered wall of follicular cells.
Step-by-step solution
A primary follicle consists of a primary oocyte surrounded by a single layer of cuboidal or columnar follicular cells (granulosa cells). When the follicular cells become multi-layered, the follicle is termed a secondary follicle. Therefore, the statement that a primary follicle has a multi-layered wall of follicular cells is incorrect. The primordial ovarian follicles arise from egg nests in the fetal ovary. The primordial germ cells, which give rise to immature ova, originate in the epiblast and migrate to the end
