The diagram below represents the time a cell spends in the two main phases

Foliculogenesis is a dynamic and complex process through which the follicle goes through many stages of development in a short period (approximately 60 days in humans and some chimpanzees).

The stages classification is based on morphological changes such as follicular size or diameter, the number of follicular cell layers, etcetera. These classifications might vary among authors but could be denominated as:

Primordial follicle

Primary follicle

Secondary follicle and

De Graaf follicles (This is the one shown in the image)

Through each stage, there are certain modifications in the oocyte, follicular cells, and connective tissue. As the oocyte grows, the follicular cells might reach a size twice or three times bigger than the ones of the primordial follicles. Their shape also changes and they adopt an aspect of stratified epithelium. Their cytoplasm gets a granulous aspect, after what these cells receive the name of granulous cells. The De Graaf follicle characterizes for having a space named follicular antro that displaces the oocyte to one of the sides.

The oocyte at this point gets surrounded by zona pellucida and corona radiata .

The follicular antro (The highlighted structure) separates the oocyte from the externally located granulosa cells or follicular cells.

Meteorologists take careful measurements of daily minimum temperatures, maximum temperatures, and precipitation (rainfall). The

Vinil7 [7]

Months with higher temperature have more rainfall.

Explanation:

From the presented graph, we can see that all three parameters are following a same trend. When the maximum temperatures increase, the minimum temperatures increase too, and the rainfall increases as well. When the maximum temperatures decrease, the minimum temperatures decrease, and the rainfall decreases too.

There is a simple explanation for the connection of higher temperature and more rainfall in Scotland. Scotland is located on an island, thus it is heavily influenced by the sea. When the temperature is higher, the humidity is higher, and in accordance to that more rainfall occurs. When the temperature is lower, the humidity is lower, so there is less rainfall, or instead of rainfall the precipitation can be manifested as snowfall.
