| anovular ovarian follicle | A follicle that does not contain an ovum. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| atretic ovarian follicle | A follicle that degenerates before coming to maturity; great numbers of such atretic follicle's occur in the ovary before puberty; in the sexually mature woman, several are formed each month. Synonym: corpus atreticum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cancer, ovarian | Cancer of the egg sac of females (ovary). In women under age 30, most ovarian growths are benign, fluid-filled sacs called cysts. There are several types of ovarian cancer. Symptoms of ovarian cancer can be vague. Detection of ovarian cancer involves physical examination (including pelvic exam), ultrasound, X-ray tests, CA-125 blood test and biopsy of the ovary. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vesicular ovarian follicle | A follicle in which the oocyte attains its full size and is surrounded by an extracellular glycoprotein layer (zona pellucida) that separates it from a peripheral layer of follicular cells permeated by one or more fluid-filled antra; the theca of the follicle develops into internal and external layers. Synonym: folliculus ovaricus vesiculosus, graafian follicle, secondary follicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mature ovarian follicle | A follicle ready for ovulation; in the human ovary its antrum attains a diameter of 6 to 8 mm and presents a surface bulge; a first maturation (meiotic) division of the ovum usually occurs just prior to the rupture of the follicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granular layer of a vesicular ovarian follicle | The layer of small cells that forms the wall of an ovarian follicle. Synonym: granular layer of a vesicular ovarian follicle, granulosa, membrana granulosa, stratum granulosum ovarii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right ovarian vein | <anatomy, vein> Begins as the pampiniform plexus at the hilum of the ovary and opens into the inferior vena cava. Synonym: vena ovarica dextra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right ovarian vein syndrome | <syndrome> A condition characterised by intermittent abdominal pain due to ureteral compression by the right ovarian vein, occurring with most frequency on the right side, and thought to be due to aberrant crossing of the right ovarian vein over the ureter, generally at the level of the first sacral vertebra; dilation of the ovarian vein during pregnancy and unilateral ptosis of the kidney are thought to be contributing factors leading to intermittent ureteral obstruction and recurring bouts of pain and pyelonephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| growing ovarian follicle | A follicle having several layers of proliferating follicular cells surrounding the ovum, but separated from it by an extracellular glycoprotein layer (zona pellucida). (05 Mar 2000) |
| polycystic ovarian disease | <disease> A condition found among women who do not ovulate, characterised by multiple ovarian cysts and increased androgen production. (09 Oct 1997) |
| polyovular ovarian follicle | <gynaecology> A follicle containing more than one ovum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary ovarian follicle | An ovarian follicle before the appearance of an antrum; marked by developmental changes in the oocyte and follicular cells so that the latter form one or more layers of cuboidal or columnar cells; the follicle becomes surrounded by a sheath of stroma, the theca. Synonym: folliculus ovaricus primarius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primordial ovarian follicle | A follicle in which the primordial oocyte is surrounded by a single layer of flattened follicular cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| disease, ovarian, polycystic | See Disease, polycystic ovarian. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease, polycystic ovarian | An hormonal problem that causes women to have a variety of symptoms including irregular or no periods, acne, obesity and excessive hair growth. Women with PCO are at a higher risk for uterine cancer (endometrial cancer), diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. With proper treatment, risks can be minimised. PCO is also known as Stein-Leventhal syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
