Details for ovarian follicular epithelium
ovarian follicular epithelium
BTO (BRENDA Tissue Ontology) ID
BTO:0005958
Definition
The ovarian follicular epithelium originates as a few flattened cells derived from the germinal epithelium. The primitive role of the follicular cells appears to be the secretion of the yolk-forming material onto or into the oocyte. Evidence from mammals indicates that the follicular cells may also have a role in converting substances produced elsewhere into female hormones, or estrogens
