Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The oocyte is released during ovulation from the dominant follicle, which is the follicle that has been selected from the pool of secondary follicles to continue developing and ultimately ovulate. The primary and secondary follicles are too small and underdeveloped to release an oocyte, while the tertiary follicle is a less commonly used term and may not accurately describe the follicular stage at which ovulation occurs. The corpus luteum is formed after ovulation, from the remnants of the ruptured follicle, and does not release oocytes.
